per Chip:

Barring injury, Smith & Brooks have a realistic shot to reach 1,000 yards separately. Smith accomplished it last season with 1,158 yards. Brooks finished with 650 yards despite missing three games because of injury.

Their styles and personalities complement each other well. Smith runs so smooth and instinctively. Brooks runs angry, taking handoffs like he just found a parking ticket on his windshield.

Smith has produced seven 100-yard rushing games in his career. Brooks has a knack for big plays, averaging 24.9 yards on his 12 career touchdowns.

The game plan shouldn’t be a mystery.

“We have a lot of trust and belief in our teammates and what they can do,” Brooks said. “We have a lot of guys that can make plays as well.”

That’s to be determined. For now, options 1 and 1A is a nice place to start.
