You guys are thinking my thoughts... or I yours.
Benson so far is shooting blanks.
Carter and Demercado are a bit of a puzzle as of now.
Carter because in the past he has been a good substitute for Connor when
Connor is resting, and Demercado (as I understand) is a poor to failing blocker.
I don't argue De--do can't run well, especially given a little gap in the line to work with,
but IMO he is not the equal in Connor's use as a battering ram all day, as it seems
is happening to date.
I have concerns that JG is riding Conner too hard, and we'll see him break down before
too much longer, but that's opinion only. I don't want to think it is the plan. Conner
seems to be holding up OK so far but he takes lots of big hits and cannot do that forever.
He is a potent weapon I would hate to lose later in the season when it could mean a lot,
and I would hate to see his NFL career end sooner than it should. I like the guy. He's an
exemplary football player and seems a good human being - a good combo to have.
BUT I am not a coach, and not paid to think or speak to or for MO, JG or MB, which is
another way of saying...
IMHO
