Running back carries for week one

[Maxman]

So lets start with this, do you think Dalvin Cook and Breece Hall will both be active? Assuming they are how do you see the carries breaking down:

Dalvin Cook?

Breece Hall?

Michael Carter?

Leslie Frazer is gone from Buffalo, new offense for the Jets. It is going to be interesting to see how both teams game plan.

Cook gets 20+ touches I’d guess maybe 10 for Breece?

I would think they use Breece mostly as a decoy. I see him getting 5 runs at most and maybe 3-5

Cook will get the majority of carries. I think the Jets want to be run first I think Aaron will throw 40 times a game.

 

[Joe W. Namath]

Breece is 100% healthy with no restrictions.  Has been for months.  He will get the majority of the carries with cook spelling him a bit.

Breece 15 carries

Cook 7 carries

I know he practiced but I see him being inactive. Them bringing him into the mix slowly. I could definitely be wrong but that is why I left him out.

Another factor is that game, the crowd, the atmosphere is going to be beyond nuts. Not bad for a rookie to take it in without any pressure for week one if possible.

Agreed, the only way Izzy is active is if Hall is unexpectedly inactive. 

Hard to predict # of carries. TBH I think Hackett will just ride his hot hand, but it seems unlikely Hall would get much more than 10 carries in his first game back unless it was necessary. Having two RB1s gives them this flexibility. If I had to guess, I'd figure Cook will get the bulk of the carries, like 12 to 7 or something like that.

Do you think CJ Mosley could be used as a running back in short yardage situations?

I will hang up now and listen to your answer on the radio.

You think he'll be on the take from the Bills again this season?

I hope you walk into a pizza shop and CJ is the under cover guy.

[Rangers9]

Carter is the only one of the 4 we know is healthy, We haven't seen Breece or Cook all preseason and Izzy didn't play last game and had an injury. It's a big deal for Rodgers. Izzy could be the surprise out of the 4.

I'll get right in his face nose to nose and tell him what a bitch he is, pretending to work in a pizza joint like he's been pretending to play linebacker. That's exactly what I'll do. 

[Beerfish]

I have a slight concern about ball security in game one to be honest.  Breece and Cook have essentially not been touched in a long time, no ex games, a lot of non tough practice. 

[rtnelson]

I see us taking a lead then leaning on the run game hard. 15 carries for Cook, 8 runs 5 rec for Breece.

[TommyT]

Game 1, I see Breece as short yardage back and situational passing down back.

[Larz]

Both active. Hall starts. Wild ass guess 

Hall 14 carries 

Cook 12 carries 

Carter 3 carries 

 

[jbt]

Carter leads the way in this one, breece and cook have not played at all so I think they might be more active in the passing game

Even if your right they didn’t bring Cook in to immediately put Breece into the fire like that. Even if he thinks he might be ready, because we know he wants all the carries. Kids a competitive through and through. 
 

I’d say numbers are closer to being revered. 

[Barry McCockinner]

Cook and Carter will take about 90 percent of the snaps and Izzy gets the rest. Breece inactive.

Breece inactive?  Hahahahahaha

Lets put healthy players on the inactive list.  Genius.

[roscoeword]

If Breece and Cook get lots of carries, then we know the exhibit season has nothing to do with preparing for the season, and its only for knowing who to cut. 

[slats]

Hall should start and get the bulk of the work. He’s, by far, the team’s best RB. They’ve been so careful about injuries, though, that they’ll probably artificially lighten his load in the first couple weeks. Once everyone is happy with where Breece is at, which I don’t expect to take long, he’ll be the clear #1. 
 
Cook’s touches will dwindle as the season wears on and Abanikanda will overtake him as well.

Great post and agree on most.  Dont think izzy will be much of a factor unless injury hits.  And I do not believe breece needs to be eased in.  Hes healthy and ready to go.

[Viermoo]

Carter 7
Breece 7
Cook 5

This is my guess, I'm not telling everyone there's less than 0 percent chance breece plays.

I think they're going to be very cautious with him because it's more important to have him in January than September.

[Ghost420]

If carter is getting most of the carries we lose this game. 

[Jethead]

Touches, not carries. Rodgers likes to throw to his backs - 10, 10, 10, 4 (Bawden), unless somebody goes off.

[Bobby816]

15- Hall

12- Cook

4- Carter

 

But I think Hall gets 5 catches. Cook 2 and Carter 4.

 

Don’t think Izzy plays Week 1.

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Carter-14

Cook-8

Hall-5

 

[Jetkwondo]

How great is it that we're having this discussion right now.

Just last year at this time we were hoping Breece would turn into something...and Cook was considered undeniable when on the field, but also an injury concern. Now we have 2 undeniable's when healthy! 

However, I have to think Carter gets the most touches early based on that last word... will be interesting to see how they use, or don't use,  Dalvin and Breece though in that order.  Cobb may be used in the backfield on 3rd downs as well as he was known to do in GB.

I could see this.  Maybe even leaning a bit more heavily on Carter (unfortunately).  Cook hasn't played and is also coming off injury.  

[GangGreened]

Week 1 will be a lot more Carter than people are expecting

The QB upgrade from when we played them last year is massive. I am not a fan of Carter at all but I don’t think him taking the bulk of the carries in this one will be make or break. Cook is the wildcard in this one IMO.
