We need Starks back. He has the ability to get outside the edge and make some solid up the field runs. He had a solid average last year as well and that was not playing as much. Alex Green is explosive but he makes some poor cuts... We'll see what happens if they get him in the I formation and run the ball.
When Starks is back and hopefully at full strength we can use him and Benson in different roles. Remember we won the SB in a fairly large part due to Starks being a solid runner.

Hopefully, he'll get it together.
Now, MM said last season that Saine was their most consistent guy at the position. Dude's got size and speed too. The rap on him is that he's raw.
We saw what Green can do in the last game. He can bust one for a large gain. Frankly Saine can do that too, and to some degree Starks as well, although he's not as fast as Saine and Green.
I'd like to see them run some of those Cobb screens to Green. He's got kind of a similar skill set, as a runner.
