Charles should play if he's healthy. I feel like keeping everyone out just out of fear would likely result in either subpar early season performances bc people aren't up to game speed, or early injuries for the same reason.

Adrian Peterson subcribes to this theory.

I agree. If he's healthy, let him play a few series. If he's still significantly dinged, let him have a week to recover and then give him a full (preseason game 3) load the next week.

Agreed. If they're worried about it, hold him out. But if he's healthy, he plays.

He should probably just retire. Can't risk getting him hurt.

so you are suggesting that we 'use up' the limited number of carries of our elite level running back in preseason games?

Charles should sit for the preseason except for some series Week 3. Davis needs the work anyway.

Laz has a definite point. However, I do understand that this is a new offense, and even, perhaps, the first "real" offense Charles has been a part of in his entire NFL career. He does need to learn the playbook and develop continuity with his teammates in the system.
However, as Laz stated, just by the nature of his position, his career is limited unless he's really, really lucky and pulls an Emmitt Smith. Most running backs just don't have the longevity based on their position and what they are required to do on a daily basis in the NFL. You can see the perceived/understood importance of Charles to this team (at least from a fans perspective) by the reaction to a minor injury that he seems to be recovered from already. Hell, you can see the importance of Charles to Reid and the offense as he got the cart treatment immediately. As such, I wouldn't be too opposed to see Charles standing on the sidelines for the rest of the preseason. Hell, it might even give us a look at the Gray, Davis, Droughn battle for that backup spot. I think Gray has a lot of potential in this system, but we didn't see much if any of him in that first preseason game. |

in preseason you use young guys at RB and kick returning etc ... let them absorb the hits to prolong the life of your quality veterans.
