Q: With British Brooks being one of three RBs on 53-man roster, what role do you think he plays this season?
JMA: Brooks will be the third running back and will play a huge role on special teams. That's where he's made his money since coming into the league, and that's where he'll continue to do so. Brooks lost weight this offseason, too, in hopes he could move around quicker and fit more into the running back role than fullback.
Q: With the perceived improvement across the offensive line, do you foresee a scenario where both David Montgomery and Woody Marks can eclipse 800-plus yards rushing? JMA: It's hard to make a prediction like that without knowing how healthy each running back will be. But I do think the offensive line and the running backs are improved enough that both could eclipse 800 yards if everyone does remain healthy. I think Montgomery and Marks are going to be in for a near even [snap] split because they can be utilized in different ways. Both looked good in training camp, especially when facing other teams.
