Ducks face crucial decision in the running back room

At the "BLeav in Oregon" podcast hosts Zachary Neel and Pro Duck Jonathan Stewart debated what will be a crucial decision for the Ducks this season: Dividing the carries at running back.

Neel asked J-Stew, "What type of backfield do we see? Is this a Jordan James RB-1 type thing with Makhi Hughes, or is this like the first year with Bucky Irving and Noah Whittington where they're both getting 12-13 carries a game?"

It's something to watch from position coach Ra'Shaad Samples, who is entering his second year in charge of the Quack Attack running game.
