Greg Schiano may want Doug Martin to be his starting running back.

But he’s going to give LeGarrette Blount a chance too.

The way the Bucs worked their opening drive, both should get chances.

On a 14-play touchdown drive against the Dolphins, the Bucs ran it eight times, with Blount getting seven carries.

Schiano also established the personality he’s been selling, going for a fourth-and-goal from the 1, and Blount repaid the confidence with a touchdown.
