If the rushing attack really hasn't changed under Zorn then I don't see the need for CP to take a snap during preseason; however, if he is going to take some work then it ought to be w/ the first team o-line only. I say this because the reserves, especially 3rd stringers, are way more likely to miss a cue, a block, take a misstep or do something else that could lead to an injury to the RB.

Second, I think Betts should take a shit load of carries. Thing about him is that he needs to develop some rhythm for the season to be successful, and if CP gets injured at some point it'll help that Betts has a ton of touches. After that I'd just run Mason to see how much he can take.

(I'm sick of watching Rock as a RB, no offense to Rock fan group).
