Is JJ a workhorse or not?

[Sitting Bull]

We seem to have a problem on our hands. Many people, including the great Jimmeh, have questioned JJ's ability to be a workhorse back due to his size and injury history. Today we saw that a healthy JJ is still the most dynamic, gamebreaking back on our roster. But with 34 carries, it also added fuel to the argument that he needs a lot of carries to get in the zone (witness the long runs in the second half). Barber is valuable to the team, no doubt. But what's the proper mix for next week and next season? Discuss amongst yourselves...

I think Julius is definitely a gamebreaker. Barber runs awfully hard, but he doesn't have the speed or the wiggle that Jones does. However, Jones has to stay healthy.

He had 100 yards at 19 carries if I am not mistaken. Hes shown nothing but heart and today he showed the ankles no longer bothering him. Consistency is the key for him now. If he can do that all the time, we have a ticket to the playoffs yearly.

Is JJ a workhorse or not?

Yes. But he has to be healthy and the o-line needs to open some holes. Remember last year when he returned from injury? Answered all the doubters big time.
