Probably the team will run a bit less in some games this season just because they won't be playing such an imposing pass defense.

My point is that although Ivory had some OK runs, Fournette is a superstar in the making and makes something out of nothing and makes great plays out of average.  He should be carrying the ball almost exclusively.  They should not have had him on the bench early in the second half.

I do understand once the game was a little more secure to share the carries to preserve the stud's body.

I was thinking the same thing at the time, but like I said, he got 26 carries, so I can't argue with it. Averaging 22 carries a game is about the upper amount that would be okay. That's 350 carries, which is a lot of carries, better if they can keep them down around 19-20. They're paying Ivory a ton of money, it's okay for him to get some carries. Probably should try to do something with Yeldon, though, I don't see him as meriting carries for this team.
