[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 921101, member: 10086"] This is not a slight on Aaron Jones, he’s one of the best in the league. Just an observation that Aaron Jones first 9 runs yielded 33 yards (3.7 per) Should we pull him based on his first 9 attempts? Obviously that would be ludicrous. Point being you’ve got to feed a RB more than 4.5 attempts per game. Dillon is a RB that excels as the game wears on and his college success was with a heavy workload. It takes 10 carries per game just to get primed for his style. We spent a 2nd round selection on him and it’s time to see what we got, it wouldn’t hurt to feature him for half a game to get him going. We could either use him early to soften the Defense and then convert to Jones later each half, especially on longer drives where the opponent D is tiring. We could also do just the opposite, wait until late 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter and bring in the hammer, when Defenses are not fresh (assuming we’re not 3 scores behind :whistling:). PS. I’d also like to get him involved in the screen/short passing game pulling a OL etc..). He’s thunder once he gets momentum [/QUOTE]
