He had 26 attempts in week one.  He'd have had that many again in week two if the Jags didn't go down by three scores in the third quarter. 

Just like your boy Zeke getting nine carries vs Denver.  When you are having your butt handed to you on the scoreboard you can't keep running. 

He's still on pace for 320 carries.  It may end up a bit higher than that if he stays healthy and we don't have too many more games that are out of hand early in the third. 

Zeke had 322 last year.  

Perspective, people.  Have some. You'll feel better.

You are wrong. If we are 3 scores behind then any running plays you do call should be given to your 4th pick overall not someone who is turnover prone and injury prone. If you aren't calling that many running plays then what's the harm in giving someone who deserves it the ball? You make no sense and have zero perspective.

Well, I can't say I'm surprised you don't understand what I'm talking about.  

If the Jags are down big on the scoreboard they aren't going to run much anyway, so there's no need to spell your #1 back very much. So, in those situations, they'll likely use Fournette much more than Ivory. 

In a game that's not out of hand, there's simply no need to run your rookie back into the ground when you have other effective options and plan to run 30+ times in that game. 

The Jags ran Ivory only 2 times in the second half of the game Sunday, BTW.  Fournette had 5 carries in that span. 

If you actually think there's some tragedy in that ratio, I can't help you.
