Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said Tyler Allgeier is “always” going to serve as a complementary running back.

LaFleur really laid it all out there at today’s press conference, saying Allgeier “is always going to complement that next guy” when the starter is out. He adds that Allgeier is “extremely smart” and can be trusted in pass protection and short-yardage situations on third down. While Allgeier “can” do what the Cardinals need him to do on first and second down, LaFleur said Bam Knight will take “a lot” of that work with Jeremiyah Love (ankle) sidelined. LaFleur closed by saying he does not think any of these running backs can hold up in a full-time role over the course of the season. Allgeier handled a hefty 19 touches in this complementary role last week. He can be started as a high-volume FLEX with touchdown-based upside against the Broncos.
