Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cardinals fans and fans across the country.
We really can Monday Morning quarterback this one.
The Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love has a high ankle sprain and will be done for the rest of preseason.
The problem becomes if this thing lingers into the regular season, and God forbid how long it last during the season.
So the question I had was, what was your reaction to the usage of Jeremiyah Love on Thursday?
Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys:I was on record as soon as the game ended that I just didn’t like the amount of touches in the game. 11 carries, three receptions in less than a half of play plays out to about ~31 touches in a game. Are we really expecting him to get 25+ touches a game in his rookie season? That would be 200 more touches than he ever had in a college season. That would actually be eight less touches than he had in his entire college career.
I am not saying the expectation for Love is he can’t get to 350+ touches in a season, but in his rookie season? Again, 14 touches in less than a half is where I had a problem. That really isn’t a realistic game script is it?
