We had some debate about this over the offseason.  I felt at the time since we were seeing Mizzell take snaps away from Cohen even in the playoff game that coaches felt he was maxed out.  Looks like they want to pare things down even more from what he did last year.  This might explain why we went after Patterson which I don't think anyone was expecting.  At least I wasn't expecting us to have interest in him and certainly not at $5mil/yr.

As predicted...

I think they think they can keep him as a premium target for the whole year by evening out his touches. He is a stud, I think they need to utilize him more, if he gets hurt , next man up. In this case just play checkers not try to play chess.

I'm in with the save his legs camp.  He lives off his explosion.  Keep him fresh.

We certainly have enough weapons to keep Cohen and others fresh.
