    Spiller needs to be given the starting title and revolve the offense around him

    It just dazzles my mind why Spiller would have 12 carries and Jackson have 16 carries. Spiller is out there making big plays and without his plays we lose easily yet Chan still continues to split carries and give Jackson more touches.

    Jackson is still a capable backup and somebody to relieve Spiller but he is looking old and slow. This is a detriment to the team with the way Gailey is using the two of them. Out of the 28 carries Spiller should've had 20 of them and Jackson the rest. Unfortunately I don't see this changing anytime soon though.

    I couldn't agree more. CJ is the best talent we've had since the 90's.

      it's possible that Spiller is still injured. on one of his last plays, it looked like he was grimacing after landing on his shoulder. But...I could be wrong. If I am, then yes it boggles the mind.
      My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.

        No real debate here but FJ's instincts for the extra yard mean so much near the goal line.

          I like the change of base between them.
          I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
          "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
          You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
          It was all
          true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
          He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
          mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                all signs point to Spiller getting more carries

                  Except those signs have been there for weeks and Fred continues to get more carries.

                      He did it twice today. Once early in the game and then that one at the end. He also ran out of bounds to avoid the hit. He's still hurt.

                        I actually wonder if him turning back up field was a debate but now that pointed it out, it makes huge sense.

                            I could see Gailey giving more touches to Jackson next week just to give Spiller a bit more of a chance to heal going into the bye. Coming out of the bye needs to be Spillers party.
