    I’m not sure what the purpose of this whole post is? I looked at a close-up photo of Harris, and he doesn’t even have wheels.

    You can relax now, Tomlin said Najee won't play vs Carolina, like I said earlier he could change his mind and not have Najee play in all 4 preseason games.

    As I said in another thread, smart move by Tomlin. Let's hope we get 17 games out of Najee, with a good balance of Ballage and whoever else mixed in. He's going to be a vital part of the offense and a position that naturally is very injury prone.

    I'd still look for camp cuts of DeAngelo Williams type vets.

    I didn't realize we had played 9 games already. What is our record?

    You do sidestep nicely when you are caught.

    I mean, you quoted exactly what I said. What exactly do you think you "caught me" in?

    Week 1 of a 17 game schedule, Najee got 100% of the snaps. Not just all the touches, all the snaps.

    By contrast, Derrick Henry got 65% of the snaps for Tennessee last year, and he played in every game.

    So, are you calling Derrick Henry a slacker?

    Obviously you could not possibly be pushing your run the wheels off Harris agenda. You certainly wouldn’t want to look that foolish, would you? Harris had only 16 carries. Barely worth breaking a sweat.

    Lots of pass-pro and pass patterns, too.

    Something to watch, obviously 100% unsustainable. Surprised he didn't work in Ballage or Snell at all.

    Is that rhetorical? No RB plays 100% of the snaps. He'll break down.

    How so?

    He only had 16 runs. Are you suggesting that players can’t play 100% of the snaps just on principal? Keep in mind half the team basically played 100% of the snaps (Green 95%).

    I'm assuming his touches will start going way up. Also, pass-pro is physical work.

    Did some more digging - Barkley played 89% as a rookie. McCaffrey played 93% a couple years ago.

    Percentage of snaps doesn't tell the whole story.
    In yesterday's game, Harris had 100% of the snaps, while Singletary (Buffalo's RB) had 64%.

    Now look at the actual number of snaps.
    Harris 58, Singletary 64.

    If Harris consistently gets snap numbers every game like D'Andre Swift 63 (68%) or Ezekiel Elliot 70 (83%), then I might worry.
