Levitan: We saw some interesting running back usage over the weekend that is worth tracking over the next two preseason games. Andre Ellington got every single first-team snap, including third downs and red-zone. Bishop Sankey didn't get any first-team reps, but did impress. Giovani Bernard didn't rotate with Jeremy Hill or BenJarvus Green-Ellis at all. Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount shared the work — could we be looking at a B&B backfield? (Don't put me in a vacant for saying that, Stringer and Avon).
To be clear, a lot of this usage had to do with the first team getting just one or two series. Obviously, Ellington and Bernard aren't going to play every snap of an entire game. But there are signs here we need to watch.
