I know it was only 6 carries, but 4 YPC is nothing to write home about. Some here speak of Carson like he's the second coming of Jim Brown.
4 per carry is more than good enough to keep running, though. I think they were averaging around 2 yards per pass at the time, so it's not like that was a superior option.
I totally agree, the run game was Superior to the pass game at that point. My point was so many here get so up in arms that Carson isn't getting carries, when the fact is he's never shown to be more than average. Last week, sure, he looked really good, but that was still a small sample. Last year, I was all about Carson, because he was head and shoulders better than what this team had, but even then, he was still incredibly average. He's never, on any level, proven to be more than a backup. This year, I'm not so sure he's the best back on this team like so many are claiming.
