Thats why PT should not see a reduced role

PT in traffic at line the looks like a short gain ... I'm sorry on the 3rd and 4th effort but him down for 17 yards ...

Makes those screens look easy, like Fred Astaire with pads on lol! Love watching PT, it's a thing of beauty.

He should be getting 15-20 touches a game. He's as good or better than any of the Super star All-Pros on the team.

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.

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.

I'd keep pumping Khiry and PT; we win when these two are featured late in games...

All I said was "I'd keep pumping Khiry and PT; we win when these two are featured late in games"...

Nothing about increasing the touches...

Keep mixing it up like we did Sunday, like we did last year in the playoffs in Philly...

Finish with punishing drives against strong, fast defensive front sevens like the Bucs with a mix of PT and Khiry...

Take the heat off the passing game...

We get into trouble with predictable empty backfields and third and long distances because we didn't chip four yards on a run play on the first two downs...

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.
