I do not want to see D'Andre Swift carry the ball 33 times ever again. Good lord. That seems like the worst possible use for a player of his abilities and a great way to get him hurt. Fortunately, they won't be playing against Mason Rudolph next week. Odd as it sounds, I think it would be better for Swift if Williams were healthy to take those taxing between-the-tackles carries. I'm not sure what these coaches are thinking. You also saw similar last night from Shanahan, giving Elijah Mitchell 27 carries, including the final few meaningless drives. It's madness.
ETA (wish I could edit posts): I'll take the 6 targets, though; would just prefer the carry totals be more in the 15-18 range. We know too much about running back overuse to accept ridiculous workloads like these from non-Derrick-Henry-sized backs. (And even then...)
It was +10000 to hear the quote, "it’s definitely OK to move on from Shenault" From Gretch this season, tough scenes
