What is with Jacksonville running this Deji Karim guy? Moe Joe is killing it, 90 yards and a TD, let the star play!

Deji Karim was one of the biggest sleepers last year. Loved him coming out of Southern Illini.

I think JDR is really scared to overplay MJD seeing how he pretty much is our offense and he's coming off an injury. He was taking a beating out there and I'm sure they are just limiting his carries to try and get him through the entire year. Really sucks we had to IR Rashad Jennings but Deji Karim has looked promising.

JDR is trying to keep his job and that largely depends on a healthy MJD. So why have him out there when the Titans are letting 2nd/3rd string guys own them (as a Titans fan that was sickening to see). In that situation might as well keep him fresh because you have 15 games left and you are going to need him in Nov/Dec in the wide open AFC South.

That is true, but wasn't he frustrated at the number of carries he got? It seems like playing him enough to keep his morale up would be necessary too.
