D'Andre Swift's one big edge over Khalil Herbert in Bears starting running back battle has nothing to do with running the football but both can balance the offense.
Herbert has been a producer for the Bears offense, but D'Andre Swift gives them much the same type of weapon with expanded capability in the form of a receiver.However, Herbert was No. 1 and is in the final year of his contract, as the starting Bears backfield battle essentially started with OTAs.
What the Bears have done with their running back group is flip the script. Last year they had two power backs, one with receiving and blocking ability. They had one all-purpose back.Now they have two all-purpose types, albeit one weaker as a blocker and possibly as a receiver. Roschon Johnson remains the power threat with receiving and blocking ability.
"For sure, I feel like if you've got a good run game it makes everything else work in the offense," Swift said. "Play-action, receivers, everything kind of trickles off one another."So when you've got a good running game I feel like it makes the whole offense itself more balanced."
