I agree Akers seems to be a pretty good back too. The season is a long one and things change. Perhaps they will eventually have a 1 (Henderson) and 1A (Akers) combo with Brown being the guy who spells them, like he did with Gurley. I want to see more of Henderson but I also want to see more of Akers. And in the end, though we'd love a bell cow, the best situation might be multiple backs being counted on equally. Not saying they'd have to have the same amount of touches, just the possibility to go to them regardless of which one is in there.
