The Saints carried it to the next level sharing the duties among three RB's. It saves wear and tear and keeps them all fresh for both the game and the season. The problem is that it takes a special player to buy into the scheme. You cannot pull it off with a prima donna type.

I think premiere backs still have a place on a winning team though...and Michael Turner is an absolute premiere back...I don't want a running back committee...I want MT to be our primary back that catches good carries...I just hate that we run him into the ground. he should be top 15 in touches, but I don't remember a healthy year where he wasn't top 3.
