It seems that Maurice Jones-Drew has become the most important part of the Jaguars offense. The club rewarded him with a new contract. Many believe that the Jaguars will win or lose based on the play of Jones-Drew. But how much of a load can he handle?
Franchise running backs have small windows in this league when it comes to top production, and for the Jaguars, this should be on their minds when camp opens up. Jones-Drew’s workload needs to be monitored during practice, during preseason games and into the season because when or if his legs begin to tire, this offense will sputter. If they get former USC running back Chauncey Washington who can limit the number of touches for Jones-Drew in the preseason, he will be able to give Washington some touches in the regular season, before he changes mind to choose giants jersey.
Jones-Drew a special talent. For some players, trying to tackle him is like trying to tackle a bowling ball rolling downhill, covered in grease. But the Jags should be careflu not to wear him down during training camp before the regular season begins.
