KM should continue to start...but Ball needs MORE carries, as he is a bit better in the run game. It should be Ball for 40% of the series, KM for 60%. But why mess with anything. Both are running well, and they are also both blocking and receiving well. It is a good problem to have, knowing we have 2 good backs.

No to Ball starting, but yes to him getting more carries; but not at the expense of Moreno.
One of the underrated advantages Moreno gives the team is that with him in, the opposing defense doesn't necessarily know if it is run or pass, and they have to watch for the screen. When Ball is in, it isn't always a run, but the odds are more tilted towards a run.

I do love that both Moreno and Ball are just grinding out yards with ease. Ball had a play in the 2nd quarter I think, a stretch run to the right that the Chargers defended supremely well, but he made a very sharp cut to get under the contain and still picked up a solid 6 or so yards on a play he should have at best got nothing on. He has superb vision for a rookie and his patience with staying behind his blockers is something very few backs can match.

There may be a time where Ball surpasses Moreno, but I would say that now is absolutely not the time.

Montee hits the hole so much faster than Knowshon, I like his running style much better. Knowshon is good at everything though and has earned his spot as the starter for the rest of the year.
I feel better about next year if we can't re-sign Knowshon though. Montee looks like he'll be a quality RB.
For now though you leave things as they are.
