[QUOTE="Fat Dogs, post: 878856, member: 12450"] Did you just use Melvin Gordon as an example of durability? Yes, Jones played 16 games for the first time but it surely doesn’t mean these issues are now “blown out of the water.” It’s simple math. A guy that carries the ball 8 times a game has a greater chance to get injured than one that carries the ball 4 times. Bigger guys are more capable of handling greater work loads. Jones had more carries last season but his yards per attempt dropped considerably from his first two seasons. I’m saying the same thing that you are. Give Jones less carries and give him more opportunities in the passing game. I’m assuming that you don’t lift weights. 7 lbs of muscle might seem minuscule but these are world class athletes that are packed with muscle and have low body fat percentages. I assure you that it would be way easier for an average joe to lose 30 lbs than it would be for a frame like Jones to add an extra 7 lbs of muscle. [/QUOTE]
