Ford needs to be the primary back

Don't get me wrong Ware is an animal and crushes people but am I the only one that would rather have Ford getting 20 carries a game and Ware getting 10 opposed to our current Ware-20 Ford-10? I understand you don't fix what's not broken but I think Ford has earned at least an opportunity to show what he can do as the teams primary back.

Fords success has alot to do with what Ware does to team. He beats teams inside and then Ware takes advantage of them on the edges. They compliment each other.

Ford has more speed and better Vision. They do compliment each other well. I do agree that Ford has earned more touches IMO.

He fumbled a month ago. Hes out.

Disagree. This team has the pound and ground identity and that's what it should stick with.
However, when Ford comes in for a change of pace he kills with his speed. He needs to get more carries, especially in the 4th quarter.

Ford needed to be the primary back in the Bama game....Nothing was going up the middle against their line but day in day out Ware gets the nod. I was extremely disappointed that it took us so long to figure out we could run on the outside.

Why the hell does it matter who is the primary back when we have a plethoral of good backs? Same with this qb bs, why does it matter who the starter is when they are both going to play and they both know how to win, and with our great special teams and defense. Damn the tards are out in full force today.

It seems we only use Ford when he's absolutley needed. You don't see him in blowout games much. But you see him in big games. Maybe Miles is keeping him fresh for the big games? He is the biggest playmaker we have at RB. Don't get me wrong I love Ware, he'll run right over you, but Ford if the home run threat.

This is Scott/Williams all over again. Look, our backs don't get the same carries. They don't even get the same kind of carries. You cannot compare the way you are trying to.

I think Les has a vision for this team and sticks with it,But i would love to see him more and i think he has earned it.

I disagree. Miles wants to pound the middle then use Ford to get outside. Ford has been underutilized IMO, but using both is necessary. Ford should get more carries but Ware should still be the primary back.
Ware has more ability than he has shown, unfortunately for him, simply because he is used to pound the middle of the line and it's tough ydg. He can do more, has done more. They have both been reduced to role players though
