Divide The touches among the RB
Last year game 1 we had 29, game 2 we had 27. So let's go with 28 combined. 7 each is an even share.
I'll go,with:
Howard 9
Sanders 8
Clement 6
Sproles 5
Not an easy choice
Anyone ?

I think they continue with going with the hot hand while trying to keep the workload manageable for the season for any one back in particular. |

Assuming it's 28 touches (not carries) I'll say it's Howard 13, Sanders 7, Clement 3 and Sproles 5.

The test results are in:
Sproles 12
Sanders 12
Howard 8
We all failed the test!
Nothing for Clement.
Howard has a nice catch of a McNabb special.
Sproles got hot. Howard played well when given the chance. He deserved more touches.

Anyone confident Sproles can handle that workload over the course of a full season and post season?
Howard and Sanders both did more than enough to get more touches, which will keep Sproles fresh to provide real impact.

Apparently (I didn't get to hear his presser yesterday), Pedersen said Sproles was just the guy they had slated for those plays in the first half. I was like, really!!?? They had him running inside quite a bit. Why? With the bigger backs they have, why have Sproles running inside? I get it, catch them sleeping occasionally but they kept doing it. Really didn't understand that.
