This is a legitimate concern. Want the kid to be healthy when he moves on from LSU, no matter where life takes him.

this is garbage invented by NFL talking heads over the last 10 years to explain how ladanian Tomlinson, shaun alexander and a couple of others went from peak to washed up in about 2 seasons.

also, they do this to explain away the RBBC which wasn't really a big thing until 2006 with the titans, saints and a couple of others.

The NFL was way more punishing in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and yet guys were still great. No one talked about limiting barry sanders' touches or emmitt smith's touches. The wheels on the bus went round and round until they didn't.

it's not a function of carries so much as age and the offensive line around guys...it's also a function of the newfound phenomenon that football teams no longer put elite talents at RB. The NFL, as it has become a passing league, has seen more mid level/low level talent guys starting for teams at RB

If the NFl were still running heavy I and pounding the rock, colleges would produce more talented RBS.

RBs and pitch counts don't mix...another reason the NFL sucks.
