We said this last week, and we’ll reiterate it today: would love to see more of running back Brandon Bolden. He was on the field during the opening drive of Friday’s game and got some carries later in the game as well. He’s typically productive with each touch he receives, showing good bounce to get to the edge, speed and vision. In our estimation, he’s just behind Stevan Ridley as the team’s most natural runner. Perhaps we’ll see more of Bolden as the preseason continues.
I’m with Yates on Bolden, maybe he’s nursing an injury a bit and they’re trying to protect him a bit before throwing him to the wolves.
