Abanikanda is RB4 and a fifth round pick. He's not getting on the field anytime soon, guys.
He's not going to be active when we have Hall, Cook, Carter, and Bawden active.
I can only speak for me, but this is why I want to see Izzy.
I'm okay with him not playing right now for the reasons you mentioned. I'm just tired of watching Cook run for 1.3 yards a carry or whatever.
Really hoping JoeD can find a taker.
