Not Kareen has 24 rushes of our 71 rushes... though I don't know how many of the alex runs are scrambles as opposed to designed options. We're using him fine. It seems like you just want KC to run the ball more period, which isn't a bad idea. Had KC ran more against SD, the game would have got out of hand. The chargers can't tackle for shit. |

Who's saying to cut him down to 12 carries? At most, the majority of folks are saying that Reid is working him about right. Some folks are being stupid and saying he should carry 20-25 times/gm, which is a really good way to ensure your RB absolutely sucks going forward. BC said he shouldn't be getting that many carries - he's right. There has been exactly 1 RB that's remained effective after getting 25 carries/gm. Moreover, there have been very very few that have had much of a career after getting better than 350 touches - period. Being a ballcarrier is damn tough work and extremely hard on a body. It's worse still when you run like Hunt does. If Reid can keep Hunt in the 15-20 touches/gm range he'd greatly increase the likelihood that Hunt is healthy come the post-season and greatly increase his long term value to the franchise. I don't even see this as being particularly worth arguing. If you find yourself siding with penbrook, you're almost certainly wrong.

I think that the reason people are complaining is that it seems like Reid is not using Hunt enough throughout the game. But it's clear to see the plan there. Keep him around 15-20 carries a game, while saving him for the 4th quarter to help put the game away. If you need a 4 minute drive to ice the game, Hunt needs to still be fresh to do it. It seems like he has been getting close to half of his carries in the 4th quarter, and that's a good thing.

Why can’t EB be our head coach? He would definently give Hunt the carries. Remember the Pats game where he said “catch your breath because we’re about to feed yo ass”.

Why not keep it the way it is. We haven't lost with our current formula. He will get more carries when a game says he needs to.

The list of 2,000 yard rushers is littered with guys who were never the same player again. Even an absolute freak like Barry Sanders, who did it on a mere 335 carries, saw his YPC drop by nearly 2 full yards the following year. Ignoring the near term and long-term prosperity of the team so you can get some meaningless record is just as dumb a thing as I've heard since...well probably something else you said.

At this point, having Hunt 100% healthy for the playoffs should be the teams #1 priority.
This is a super bowl team with him in the equation. Probably not without him. Anyone else got the feeling this is going to be a special year? |
