He has already racked up a high number of reps this season compared to the previous two years when looking at a reps/game rate. Will he be able to hold up under the higher usage rate? I hope so.

Fully agree with this. Ideally I would LOVE to see the Colts win the rushing title, but not Mack. I would like to see us at the end of the season with Mack, Hines, Wilkins, and hopefully even Williams all getting to very solid total rushing totals, and I think we can- but it is all about the OL staying healthy, if they do, I do think we will lead the league and by the end of the year will just be a battering ram chewing up clock by getting 150+ every game.
I think this is definitely a playoff team and I want Mack to be the hammer there and that means load management now.
