Redskins would be smart to split carries between Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson

For the first time in quite a while, the Redskins have a very deep running back room. They will likely keep four backs on the roster, and all of the players they are considering have talent in one way or another. But still, the two biggest names on the roster are Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson.

Guice, a former second-round pick out of LSU, was expected to emerge as the lead back last season before suffering a torn ACL in the preseason. Peterson was then signed to help replace him and ran for over 1,000 yards in his first season in Washington.
