Glad to see at least one poster agrees with my vast wisdom in wanting to use a two-back set. Great minds think alike! 
As stated in previous posts where I've brought this up, I like the idea as an alternate but McVay would never, NEVER depart from his single RB and as many people in the pass pattern as possible underlying philosophy.. So there is that.
The wo back set seems to work OK for Green Bay without hampering the passing game too much. And how about a blocking back? For as long as we're dreaaming, how about bringing Verse, with his burst and muscle, in as a blocking back?
I remember LaDanian Tomlinson running behind Lorenzo Neal. When San Diego dumped Marty and went to the other guy who dumped the offense that was working and Neal along with it, and started sending Tomlinson up the middle, play after play, he shortened Tomlinswon's career in the same way that Martz ruined Marshall Faulk after Warner's departuire.
Problem is, for McVay, you can't make a LaDanian Tomlinson or a lesser-but similar Kyren Williams out of a Royce Freeman. Let him block, or get the tough inside yards where less-than200 lb. bacdks have trouble. After watching two genuine power backs run on Sunday and Monday nights, I'm convinced of two things: One, since McVay's offense took the league unawares, DC's have adjusted. He's modified it somewhat but the notion of scoring in the 30's game after game has now passed to teams that do it the old-fashioned way, to wit: Two, quick off the snap brute force on the O line and a running back who can make yards on his own will set up the pass, score points and win games.
