IN order to keep RB Saquon Barkley from being overworked, his pitch count should be 18 carries. Unless it’s a close game, late into the fourth quarter. In which case, the coaching staff should play it as they see fit. Otherwise, we should use RB Tank Bigsby to finish off halves.
Tank is an aggressive, full speed, downhill runner. The sort of fresh legs which no tired defense wants to see. When we roll out Tank, it shouldn’t be about scheme and a chess match. That’s for when Saquon is on the field. When Tank comes out, we should be signaling that it’s time for a fist-fight in a phone booth. That the undertaker is here to box the defense up.
