[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 790806, member: 10441"] He is and I've been saying Williams and Jones need to be the 2 guys going forward for 2 weeks now. But I've been thinking about it and this seems like a decent approach for now. He is the best and most explosive runner. not even a question about it. But, he's not proven to be the most durable back in his short time in the NFL, he's not the only RB we have, and it's a long season. I'm ok with rotating touches for now. This staff has always coached with the end goal in mind. I know it frustrates everyone to no end, but that's their failure to see big picture. They want every game a blow out and if it's not, we did something wrong. At no point yesterday was that game in danger of getting away from us. They've always given people who are working hard an opportunity, and by all accounts williams and Monty are. And, it's a long season. There was no reason to give him 20+ touches yesterday. Rodgers can complain of his flow and everything else, and I get it. Seems that way to me sometimes, but let's not act like the other 2 don't bring something to the table. I don't remember the receiver, but I remember another big play with a blitzer coming right up the A gap and you know who stepped up and just stoned him right in the hole? Williams, again. I swear he's a better blocker than half the offensive linemen in the league. He attacks blitzers and just stones them where they stand. That skill can't be understated. His rushing stats will always be worse, but he's a capable runner. I think he runs in a lot of unenviable situations too where the defense is just waiting for it. and Monty wasn't chopped liver yesterday. He set up that first TD (I think) with a really nice pass reception. So for now, with history not showing Jones to not be the most durable, and having 2 other capable RB's, I'm just fine limiting snaps when the game is in control. I do expect his opportunities to go up as the season progresses and the games become more important. He'll also be further away from a hamstring injury that kept him out of much of the preseason and a suspension that kept him away from the team for the first 2 weeks of the season. Playing him into shape seems like a good thing to do. [/QUOTE]
