Do Johnny Musso or Charles Alexander ring a bell? Great college backs who got beat up in college and didn't do much damage at the next level. I still can't figure out what Mark Ingram's deal is.

is is a nice example of how the carries should work out

Fournette 230
QBs 120
#2RB 90-100
#3RB 70-80
#4RB 20
#5RB 20

While it's ok to add more backs, I think three RBs and a QB are more than enough.

Can't argue with that stat because it's right on.

Johnny Musso 574 carries (any 3 year starter would have as many carries)
Charles Alexander 855 carries (4 years)

Herschel Walker - 994 car in 3 years/ 17 year pro career
Marcus Allen - 932 car/ 16 year NFL career
Thurman Thomas - 956 car/ 13 year NFL career
Tony Dorsett - 1163 car/ 12 year NFL career
Thomas Jones - 809 car/ 12 year NFL career
Eric Dickerson - 790 car/ 12 year NFL career
Marshall Faulk - 766 car/ 12 year NFL career
LaDainian Tomlinson - 943 car/ 11 year NFL career
Steven Jackson - 743 car/ 11 year NFL career
O.J. Simpson - 674 car in 2 years/ 11 year NFL career
Ricky Williams - 1011 car/ 10 year NFL career
Tiki Barber - 651 car/ 10 year NFL career
Eddie George - 683 car/ 9 year NFL career
Matt Forte - 833 car/ 7 year NFL career (and counting)
Adrian Peterson - 743 car/ 7 year NFL career (and counting)
Chris Johnson - 624 car/ 7 year NFL career (and counting)
LeSean McCoy - 584 car (2 years)/ 6 year NFL career (and counting)
Ray Rice - 910 car/ 6 year NFL career (TBD if he'll be back)

I think I caught a got damn cramp in my hand

Point is, amount of carries don't mean a thing. It's all about the RB in question.

Ingram ran behind a great O line. Good back but that line was very good.

Fournette is good with at least 15 to 20 carries

We have plenty of good backs to change pace and extend Fournette's career. Guise will be a big huge surprise back and he can carry 5 to 10 times, Williams 5 to 10 times and we have Brosette then throw in Donte.

No need to over work a back on this team.
