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.

And both losses, the hot handed RB only played 1/3 of the snaps.

The 3 wins this year:
Minnesota: Split evenly between 2 RBs - Won, but not in our usually home-manner
Tampa Bay: Split evenly between 2 RBs - Barely won
Green Bay: One RB got close to 80% of the snaps - Won decisively

our offense hasn't moved that cleanly all year until Green Bay.
