He is right. His carries get cut, he can last longer years wise, and he will be able to walk/talk in 20 years

It’s nice to see a player with a good attitute about his role for a change. Not only does he have the right mindset but he’s smart enough to know that splitting time with J-Stew is beneficial for his longterm health.

@jwill007
YELLING at people on the internet does NOT help YOUR post. WE can ALL tell you HAVE a MANCRUSH on Bernard Scott WITHOUT the CAPS.

Give Bernard Scott more carries in Cincy’s offense! This will reduce the wear and tear on Benson(missed 3 games in 09)….
Bernard Scott ran for over 2K yards 2 years in a row at Abilene Christian he avg over 4.0 a carry in limited action and is FLAT OUT DEADLY IN SPACE!
Blame the decision making on Bob PREDICTAKOWSKY who reports DIRECTLY TO MIKE BROWN NOT MARV LEWIS!
Imagine that……..

Now if Brad Childress could learn this, and keep Adrian Peterson fresh for more of the season…

I wouldn’t say there’s anything particularly ‘new’ about it, but thanks for chiming in.

@ twinkletoes
Please never mention the name Emmitt Smith in the same sentence as Walter Payton and Eric Dickerson again.

Not a bad concept, depending on the team. But do you really think the Titans would have been 2nd in the league if they had CJ and LenDale White splitting carries 50/50?
Hell, do you think any team with an AP or CJ would be better off only giving them 50% of the carries?

no diggity doubt

Running backs are the disposable heroes of the league. The days of Walter Payton, Eric Dickerson and Emmitt Smith are over. Especially now that the league is a lot more stringent with testing for ‘roids, it’s gonna be an uphill battle for RBs to recuperate from the wear and tear they endure. They probably deal with the most physical trauma on a week to week basis. It takes a huge toll on the central nervous system. When the body throws in the towel, no amount of can-do attitude is gonna overcome it.

Although I hate our division rivals with a passion, both DeAngelo Williams & Jonathan Stewart are a few of my favorite players (fantasy wise)!

“That may not excite fantasy owners”
I’m sure making fantasy owners happy is first and foremost in the minds of every GM and coach in the league. Who cares if they lose games as long as the fantasy owners are happy.

AJ, what are you waiting for? You’ve already fleeced the Seahawks, now package that draft pick together with a DE or a WR and grab DeAngelo to address your absence of a quality RB.
Like LT, he’s a high character guy and can really put up the numbers.
