This discussion about touches, at least for me, isn't about getting JT injured by overuse. I want the offensive line to get 'touches' (by that I mean I want them to get more chances to physically dominate thru the run). Let JT get his 20 touches a game but let other guys get some also. And it isn't about the number totally. It is when you need to run you can (ie run out the clock in the 4th quarter, get that two yards for a first or TD). Watching football for 50+ years the only teams that can do that consistently are teams that make a commitment to running the ball, being physical, during the season. Put the game in the hands of the offensive line, when people fear that, then Wentz can be effective enough (I don't like the guy at all and am bummed I need to pull for the asshole but he has physical talent, mentally he seems weak) Doing all of that wouldn't solve our pass rush issues however. We still would suck.
