It doesn't work like that 

They ran the ball 38 times today. Giants ran the ball 39 times and destroyed the Eagles. Ball control and wearing the other defense out has huge advantages.

What's the magic number, 40?

Surprised that some fans aren't saying that because DAL and MIA were bottom-10 defenses that these games don't count for Rico.

They do suck (see above posters commenting) but great players go off on bad defenses, like Rico did. Not like we're talking an NFL average performance

I mean you can't split carries in that scenario

Can you imagine pulling Rico after 2 7 yard runs?

Canalas will fine w way to give him three carries when Chuba is back

Running and defense is the tried and true strategy. It might save the NFL. The pass happy trend did not lead to a more interesting product

Canalas is the anchor to this team. He wants to go pass happy so bad. Rico is killing it. ETN time

We just played 2 of the worst defenses in the NFL in back to back weeks after playing nothing but top 10 defenses  (minus Atlanta at 16th) to start the year. Rico was awesome but can we see Chubba against a not amazing defense at least once this year?

I get the Chubba love, I do. He’s been consistent and put in the work to have better hands. 
 

That being said, there’s no way on earth we take snaps away from Rico right now. He’s channeling some voodoo form of Bo Jackson and Ladanian Tomlinson right now. 
 

Chubba has never run with this type of vision, patience, and burst for us.. ever. You don’t sit him or think about splitting snaps with Chubba. We found a diamond in the rough here and let’s make everything we can out of it.

Godda sow up this backfield if we gonna make a run..we've done most every thing on offense and Bryce is the x factor.... next draft has to be on D dawgs.

Unload Brooks ASAP.

Some backs get stronger the more they carry.... Bledsoe lost his job to Brady....don't fk with anything that is working.  He seems of that ilk
