That's giving Jaymo too much credit.
It is efficient.
Aaron Jones hasn't been caught again driving high.
Aaron Jones hasn't been caught again - on or off the field.
He's going to be on NFL Network right now
Looks like we still do what we do.
Yea that's terrible game planning. The only time that dude should be on the sideline when GB has the ball is if he needs a rest or is injured. Having a healthy and fresh Aaron Jones on the sideline while seeing Jamaal Williams in the game is just fucking stupid.
I'm mixed on this. Times have changed. They barely wear pads any more and RB's get pounded to death. They have to keep him in one piece for the playoffs.
I don't think they're ignoring him, I think they're saving him. Don't want him on the sidelines? 25 touches a game nowadays will put him there for good. In street clothes.
You play to win the game. And to win the game we need Aaron Jones on the field, not on the bench if healthy.
Well I mean we're 8-3.
You play to get in the playoffs. 16-0 isn't getting you anywhere if you're primary ballcarrier is out at the end.
Obviously you want Jones out there as much as possible, but it does no good to overwork him. Look at the Rams last year with Gurley and the Chargers with no Melvin Gordon for the playoffs. It screwed them.
Just saying. Like I said I'm mixed. These days you need to have at least 2 running backs. You ride one guy 16 games and you burn him out.

I think you're going to be upset when snaps are split between the two in the playoffs. I hope you're right, but I don't think you are.
It's a tightrope. You need to play him enough to win during the season to MAKE the playoffs before you can worry about wearing him out. How do you guage "enough"? Wild card, division, #1 seed? At what point do you stop saving him?

Dude is on this board more during the work day than I am...and I'm retired.
I wonder if he sends report cards home with "Like" instead of A's and B's?
The other part of that is, and it's not cool, but you have to view running backs as disposable items. It's not worth it to pay the big 2nd year deal most of the time. So ride the bull and then send it out to pasture.

Alternatively, you can draft a RB from Wisconsin, since they're pre-worn out for you.
Hateful โข
But our quarterbacks arms are fresh.
Yah, James White and Melvin Gordon really looked worn out. Not to mention Alec Ingold.
