From what I saw last night he was never triple teamed, and I really can't remember when he was even double teamed. I saw a DB follow him when he went in motion, but thats not a double team.

Point to a play or two so I can educate myself. It shouldn't be hard if it was done on every play.

I'll rewatch tonight to see all of those double and triple teams I must have missed.

I didn't get a chance to see the game last night, but it's obvious in person. I doubt you'll be able to tell just by watching on TV.

You mean you can't tell if a RB is triple teamed on TV?

Hmm, thats a head scratcher.

So I wonder... if he's truly tripleteamed on every play, why in the world would he ever come out of the game? His mere presence gives you a two-man advantage everwhere else. He can't get hurt being a decoy. So why doesn't he play every down?

That I can't answer. But I do know the average pass play when he's in goes for around 15 yards and only 5 when he's out. So he attracts a he'll of a lot of attention.
