RBs don't get open by running precise routes. They are almost always used on swing passes, screens, drags, and wheel routes. Route running is a skill that takes a lot of time to perfect.

True, there is a difference between catching out of the backfield and running WR routes. But Bernard can run those WR routes and if they team is having him practice out there then I believe it would be a way to get him on the field. The only other way would be to use two back sets, which would be nice to see.
