Interesting how the conversation went from AK is washed, not the same RB from ‘17-‘21, and can’t touch CMC to he’s being ran down into the ground once he’s outperforming CMC and every RB in the NFL.
When you have the NFL’s best RB this year, he has to be featured and fed at all costs. As long as the plays are diverse and creative and not make him prone to injury by constantly running him up the gut.
He’s never had a true workhorse season in carries (250-270+) like CMC until his projected pace this year. Kubiak is intent on running the offense through AK all 17 games and not just half of the season like SP and PC did. He has more fresh legs and durability than other RB1s at his age by having Ingram and Murray spell him over the years. Miller’s return could help AK’s run play selection be even more effective for bigger gains.
