For the first part of the season Ahmad Bradshaw was blowing up defences and Jacobs was starting slow, but now Jacobs has improved and Bradshaw's production is dropping. It seems that Bradshaw's injured foot/ankle is hindering his performance and he might need a rest for a while. At the very least we should start to limit his carries a bit. Jacobs is playing well and is getting fewer carries, which I think we can all agree needs to change. My question for you guys though is: Should we be resting Bradshaw when his productivity isn't at the level we had come to expect?

  For the season, Jacobs has 617 yard from 151 carries, an average of 4.1 yard per carry. Bradshaw has 515 yard from 103 carries, an average of 5 yards per carry. While Bradshaw's average is still higher than Brandon's, he has really started declining in the past few weeks. Is this because of his injury or because the opponents have figured him out now and know how to stop him? I think it is his injury that is hurting his ability more than anything else. Other teams may have figured out some ways to combat his running prowess, but that is not what I see. I see a running back who isnt running into tacklers as hard or with as much determination as before. Ahmad used to be dodging and stepping people and taking the big hits if it would get him that little bit further, but now he seems more timid and more reluctant to take the ball and run hard. It really make me feel that if we rested him or just gave Jacobs more plays that we would do better and  he would be healthier WHEN we make it to the Playoffs.
