@jguarfn28 jguarfn28 I think teams are definitely less likely to put 8 in the box when Jennings or Karim are on the field, until they’re forced to reconsider that approach. I think Dirk Koetter would be fine with that…he’ll find ways to make em pay.

@ruf1950 In an ideal world, yes, you “finesse” your use of a player like MJD to maximize his career and when his backups are in, you see little dropoff in performance and the rest you give Mojo increases his effectiveness. But the NFL is anything but that ideal. The truth is, there is a dropoff when Mojo’s not in there – just look at the last three games of the season (Mojo hurtin’ in Indy and out for final two). And in a league where fortune can change at any minute with an injury, you don’t treat your RB’s like your franchise QB. I think you get the most production you can out of them while you can.

jguarfn28 Don’t you think the 8 in the box sets will decrease if the nearly as talented stablemates get a turn? I think they,(defenses) key on MJD and letting the other guys play will be good for the team. Just like Freddie keyed the D up, they couldn’t react to the MJD change of pace back in 2007. Time to go old to be new again.
