Man, there are a lot of complaints I have with Arthur Smith, but this ain’t one of them.
First, rookies of all positions tend to hit the “rookie wall” late in the season, and if you’re trying to make the playoffs I can see why you might want to try to save him for the back half of the year.
Second, managing a RBs workload is about the toughest thing to know how to do correctly. Remember when everyone and their mother was saying that the Cowboys needed to ride Tony Pollard instead of splitting the carries with Zeke. I’m not saying that they were wrong or right, but this year Pollard isn’t half as dynamic as the below.

You play to win the game. Fuck the Saints.
