I mean, from the reports released during last season, Reggie injured his knee in the Jaguars game. With that said, he played four games with a damaged knee ligament (same injury Peterson had, but took two weeks off).
Reggie did get knocked in the Carolina game, and that was an obvious, lights out hit, but that in no way makes me question wheter he can handle more than 10 carries a game.
I mean, is he less likely to get hit, on the 2 million dump passes, and quick screens we trhough him. Not at all.
My thing is this, I'm totally fine with Reggie and his ablility, b/c I know our offense is loaded with talent, that draws good match up because opponents know better than to try to account for Reggie with one man (that's suicide).
I just hate to see the kid get critisized for his ability as a runner when he isn't given a fair shake, to do so.
Because you get injured, doesn't mean you cant take the way too often overused "pounding." Big backs get hurt just as frequently as 200 lb backs. Injuries happen, whether Reggie can take the "pounding" is a silly argument.
Deuce ways 230+ and has had two season ending injuries. And missed games with injuries.
Everyone who steps onto a football field has an equal stake in the risk of injury.
