I agree, there was no real need for him in on those snaps. Ivory could have done the job quite easily.   

But as far as managing him touch wise I think they've done a decent job.  You can't impose a touch limit because invariably you will have to change it depending on game script and how the two backs are doing. It's fruitless to say "Okay LF7 will get 20 touches on Sunday and that's it". 

What they say they're doing is judging it throughout the game and letting Wheatley dictate the rotation by how they're running , fatigue, situation etc etc. It appears to be the case based on everything we've seen. Granted they can sharpen up in situations like the end of the Steelers.  

It's a run heavy scheme with two workhorse backs. The reality is these guys are going to be hit alot and they're going to get tired. Hopefully we don't end up ruining Fournette in our attempt to hide a terrible QB.
