I’m not sure if this is the quote that has generated the “pitch count” story today, but oh my goodness, if it is, we are making a whole helluva lot of assumptions. If this is the quote, that is awful, awful headlining by whoever started it & the echo chamber is just as bad.
Irving’s carries will follow game flow as staff monitors long-season wear
Zac Robinson: “I think it’ll be flow of the game and knowing that it is a long season. We have two, really three, four backs when you include Josh Williams too that we feel good about. But yeah, it’s really a feel for the flow. Sometimes, if you catch a hot hand and he ends up with 22 carries and you win the football game, then you don’t think twice about it. But we do wanna be mindful of that, knowing that we’re gonna need Bucky for the long haul. Still early on in the season here, still guys getting their breath and getting used to game shape and all those things that come with it. So it is something we monitor, but there might be games where we just need it and he’s running well and we just keep rolling with him.”
