So does a "platoon" system when you have a team built on the running game.
Hard to name the last time that a team that wanted a running attack built it off of splitting the workload with a bunch of backs.
Seattle has not given Turbin or Michael more carries instead of Lynch the last two years. His carries have remained stable.
An attack like that is built on rhythm and a back getting worked into the game.
If it isn't Murray, then they should devote high resources to his replacement....draft or free agency.
Going with some asinine platoon, especially one involving any of the current backs on this roster, is a recipe for failure.
First of all you don't "platoon" four backs. You feature two backs, and insert another for a change of pace while keeping the fourth inactive. This keeps you fresh all year and insulates you from injury.
Green Bay has two backs who have proven they can be productive with a full workload. They have two other backs and a fullback-- and this is a team that doesn't run as much as they should. If they did, they may have gone 17-2 or even undefeated.
Second, Seattle has been damned lucky Lynch has remained relatively healthy, having been active in all but one game in four full seasons and playoffs.
If he ever gets hurt their season could end. Flat out, just like ours would have if Murray went down. It's not like LeGarrett Blount gets released every week.
