Saw this in a fantasy football article about the Saints (Chargers) backfield and I think it would be the perfect split for us as well. Jackson I feel is on the decline (though by no means a dud), so to keep him fresh throughout the season is key. The split in the qoute below I feel would be perfect for our crew with the occasional exception (ie would love to see both Norwood and Jackson in the backfield at the same time). It's tough to say how you would split this up but for me I see it as Norwood 3rd downs, Cadillac between the 20's and Jackson In the redzone/short yardage. That should do a pretty good job of splitting the carries and keeping all three guys fresh. Your thoughts...
Staying in H-Town, the blurry Pierre Thomas(notes)-Mark Ingram platoon is starting to come into focus. It appears the early-down rotation — Darren Sproles(notes) will likely be deployed 90-95 percent of the time on third downs — resembles Norv Turner's in San Diego. The PT Bruiser, who drew the start for the second straight week, will be the between the 20s option (Ryan Mathews(notes)). Meanwhile, Ingram will net most action inside the red-zone and on short-yardage, including goal-line work (Mike Tolbert(notes)).
