So I guess it is a huge coincidence that the week where TG's services were most needed, his arthritic knee felt much better for 28 touches worth. I guess this is the very first time this season where his knee felt ok???
Hopefully we could all agree, that TG getting TWELVE touches in a game that he is on the field for 57 plays in a very tight game doesn't seem like it is a winning formula, especially when you factor in the current state of our offense and specifically the OLine.
How does that work? I'd imagine that being on the field for 57 plays, whether he carries it or not, is still usage and potentially wearing down the knee.
I don't think it makes sense to suggest that "carrying" the ball 12 times is managing it and that those other 45 plays he didn't carry somehow didn't impact him.
