He may only have about 30 carries to do it in so he better make them count.

If we use 2009 rushes as a base figure, that equates to 30 runs per game.

I'd estimate PT and Ingram share 50-50, with Ivory/Bell/Sproles getting about 10 per game.

So you're right, Ingram will probably only see about 10-12 carries per game. If he averages a very good 4.5/carry thats only about 800 yards rushing.

Unless PT gets hurt, I can't see ingram getting 1,000 yards rushing, simply because of the RBBC approach. His success should be measured by his YPA.

Naw, I think if Ingram starts going out there and burning it up, he will get more carries. I don't see Payton saying "Damn, Ingram is running over everyone out there! Lets get PT23 in the game, quick!"
