You agreed with:

quote:

I'd like to see Ingram with 12-15 carries, Robinson with 8-10, and PT with 5 or so. I think that is a reasonable breakdown and keeps all healthy should this team make a playoff run.



Spelling would be 2-3 carries (10% of the offensive snaps; pass protection, run blocking, and passing game), like what Randle does for Murray.

Giving him 8-10 carries and Ingram with 12-15 carries is splitting the workload, not spelling.

Now if you're saying out of say 75 snaps, Ingram gets 45, PT gets 20 and Khiry gets 10. Sure

By saying the above, that you agreed to posted by Geauxgurt, you're saying:

Ingram gets 25-30 snaps (roughly 1:1 ratio in R:P), PT gets 20-25 snaps (roughly 1:3 ratio in R:P), and Khiry gets 20-25 (roughly 3:2 ratio in R:P). Which we were doing in Game 1 and 2.

How did that work out for us?

Different people have different definitions for such practices. Some teams "spell" their top RB by doing a 2 series on, 1 series off rotation for him. That would fit pretty well in the upper end of Ingram's 12-15 carries with the lower end of Khiry's 8-10 (with PT working some passing situations). Furthermore, if the game is well within hand, I would rather see Khiry close it out and "spell" (in the long-term sense) Mark between his last carry that game and his first carry in the next one.

As for the first two games, both of those were on the road in the opposition's home opener and both were certainly winnable under the RB rotations used.
