Which RB should get the most carries?

Euphoria · 10-19-2011, 10:36 AM

I am debating this myself and I am seriously leaning towards PT.

He seems to be more of an every down back than anyone we have. I think Ingram is getting carries just to get reps and work on our blocking for him. Its more of a developmental thing.

What is nice is that when have Sproles on one end of the spectrum and then there is Ingram on the opposite in... then you have PT right in the middle of there styles.

With the play of our defense in order to win games we have to score 35-50 points a game which I think really should take Ingram out of the game.

It will be interesting when Ivory is back.

the 35-50 points a game makes all the sense with the defense we have. the 35 point mark is whats needed to win the game on avg. unless its the packers then the 50 come's into affect. i agree with u eup.

I want my Chris Ivory fix. Overdue.
He'll give us twice the production of Ingram at this point.

Leading the team when PT was hurt most of the year and our other runner was Julius Jones.

Look I'm not hating on Ivory, but I don't think he's got a spot in the regular RB rotation on this team. Running hard and punishing defenders are nice, but that doesn't necessarily make a good back. I'd rather us give touches to PT and Ingram. Just my opinion.
