Getting your best playmakers on the field

I realize this is kind of pointless to talk about, but If I am getting formations in order to do exactly that,I have Dural, Guice, Smith, Chark/Dupre and Fournette in on every formation that isn't a power set.
It is my personal opinion that Guice should be in the slot on several plays and that we should run screens to him and Dural out of it. I understand the thought of keeping them fresh, but Guice has proven through his play-making skills that he should not be spending plays on the bench just because we have a better pure RB than him.
We have what could turn out to be not just one, but two generational talents in our backfield (IF, and only if, Guice continues making plays in a diminished or altered role). Not trying to jump to conclusions, but the potential is there.

There are too many playmakers to limit yourself.
Shotgun two tight end sets using Desean and Jeter. Gives you the option to use the power running game or spread the field.
Put Darrell Williams and Bry'Keith Mouton in at fullback in power formations to have a run/pass option.
Jet sweeps using Chark, Dural, and Guice.
Let's open this thing up.

Bubble screen to Chark would be money. We need to bring that back.

Guice is more slippery than the greased-up deaf guy. Can you imagine him one-on-one with a linebacker covering him, then just the safety to beat? Screens to guice all day after motioning him to the end of the line.

I agree that we should try to have as many of the playmakers as we can on the field at one time. However, what I believe we should avoid is telegraphing plays based on who is on the field. Not saying anyone was suggesting that. However, I know some teams (UT comes to mind) get very predictable in terms of play calls once a particular player is on the field.

Each game we've played, we've shown a new dimension. I see this trend continuing.
