Why not give Carson a shot?

Thoughts?

I'm not a fan of using certain players only for specific duties.  Not only does it limit the play calling when that player is in the game, but it's a huge tip off to the defense as to what is coming.

Gio Bernard has shown that he can run it up the gut, with the best of them, when the holes are there.  The interior OL has been getting pretty good movement, a luxury that we haven't enjoyed for a while.  

I'm sure that Carson will get his share of snaps, and I have been curious to see what he does with the 1s.  His snap count will likely be as high as his ability to block, rather than his ability to carry the ball.  Walton, I'm a little worried about.  He didn't show much in preseason, and now I'm reading that he's nursing a shoulder injury.  Shoulder injuries and RBs don't suit well together..
