to add quality at the position...someon at one of the game told me that Bradshaw told him that Newsome was the best back we had including everybody and I think he'll be at LB next year.
That said, you simply cannot have too many backs. Remember 2000 when Butchie ended up being the stud...we ran through Rogers, Carey, Morrison, Hairston, and a couple others before we got there. It is a position where it is unfortuately very easy to get hurt.
