Actually I think PT should have exactly the role he has right now. Some screens, some runs, a couple of passes. That is what makes him so effective. He isn't in on every play grinding the ball so he stays fresh and explosive trough the whole game.

Yeah as clutch as he is and as much as I love Pierre (and I do) I definitely don't want to accidentally break him by overusing him too much. STILL it makes me wonder about games like Dallas or the first Seattle loss last year, where he was the invisible forgotten man.

PT should be the main man
always should have been
that is why i say he get no respect from the front office

Re: Thats why PT should not see a reduced role
 

My only worry is that he won't last long being used like that. If someone could guarantee me that he could handle 15-20 touches per game, I'd say thats a no-brainer.

I'm 100% convinced that if he had played in the Seattle and San Fran playoff losses, we'd have another Lombardi on our shelf.

Every one of our RB's has missed multiple games over the years. Why do we think it's a good idea to burn them out this early in the season?

Re: Thats why PT should not see a reduced role
 

I guess one could say we have some must win games over the next several weeks so to heck with trying to save them for later. We need wins now, and lets run PT until his legs fall off.

If we can get a few games over .500 and a game or two lead in the division then maybe we can start pacing ourselves.

Re: Thats why PT should not see a reduced role
 

Agreed, and PT is the best back in the backfield with yards after contact.
No contest. I'd like to see PT out there more, but continue to let Khirly and Ingram hammer against the opposing lines.

give him the BALL!!!!! PT
