That sounds like the ticket to me. If we don't limit AP's carries, his effectiveness is probably going to diminish as it did last season. I hope he'll be able to accept a reduced role for the good of the team. To me, Perine looks much improved. He should be able to handle some of the load.

I would rather run AP into the ground, then use Perrine if needed. AP looks to be in good shape, hasn't had a ton of on field work, and right now looks to gives us the best chance to win every week. If Perrine gets healthy and beats him out then let Perrine start, but splitting carries is going to tick them both off, in an unproductive way.

Agree with this

15 carries a game would be 240 for the season. That would have been tied for 11th highest based on last years stats.

Ok, my point is I don't want a running back by committee. I want either AP or Perrine to be the guy, and right now, I think AP is a better option to start the season.

I also think if we do running back by committee, AP will be less manageable, he wants to "be the guy" or at least the chance to be.

Obviously CT is the 3rd down back always while healthy.

I agree with this.
We need our best players to play.
I don't want to see anyone on a pitch count.

We need to win game.
