Is it just me, or does anyone else think Deuce is a good bit from 100%? Last few weeks you see numerous posts asking why we aren't pounding the rock with Deuce. I really find it hard to believe that this has never occured to Payton. At the game today I made a point to watch Deuce for any sign of him favoring his leg, and numerous time it appeared he was, and was trying to not make it obvious. This would explain why reggie got more carries, and why they would play action then dump the short pass to Deuce rather than having him try to mash through the line.
The innuendo you hear on the radio all week re: his leg is contributing to this speculation. I think they are limiting his carries to avoid further injury. I just can't grasp Payton choosing not to use a healthy deuce, so this seems like a justifiable reason not to use him.
of course i might be wrong and the coaching staff are purposely not using him, just thought i would throw this out there
