Why is Haley benching the best player again? I just don't get it. I understand rotation, but to not give him carries or get him out on the field is insanity. If he is on the field, he makes plays, even if he doesn't get the ball, he still makes the defense's stomach churn.

i wouldnt worry about it...i expect to see an increase in charles activity in cleveland...with that said, we will see more jones too....we will just pound the rock and set up the PA pass

I had not heard that he had been benched. Do you have a link?

No not benched, but he was on the bench for like 3 drives...I rarely saw him out there.

Oh, gatcha. I wouldn't get too concerned; it's the first game of the season - he'll get his touches.

Like a lot of folks, though, I was thinking that 11 carries was way too few. When he did get in there, he averaged the kind of runs that would have prevented a bunch of those 3 and outs.

I agree. That's the least of my worries.

He only got 11 carries but thats the same amount that Jones got. What made it such a small number is the amount of 3 and outs we had. If we had gotten more 1st downs he would have had more carries. It's that simple.

i wouldnt take too much into it. It was a tough game on a dangerous field. Im sure that they didnt want to risk injury especially with 2 TD lead.

we're platooning the running game this year
