Much better to let LJ take the punishment and hope the OL un****s itself. Use Charles sparingly in the running game and more importantly KEEP HIM FRESH for the passing game, where he is OUTSTANDING.

You say that Charles will get hurt guaranteed. Okay lets find out. I think if he's sharing some carries with someone else (Battle, Savage) that wouldn't happen.
And no it's not better to let LJ take the punishment. I'm not interested in him receiving punishment. I'm interested in guys who average 2. something per carry sitting the bench.
If everybody else can't do better then feel free to put LJ back in there.
But if the O-line is going to continually not open holes, might as well put in a guy who can make someone miss. Maybe we'll catch a break. LJ can't make anybody miss. He's a guy who needs a clear lane and that just isn't going to happen this season.
