Relying so much on a 37-year-old running back doesn’t seem ideal for an 0-11 team, but Adam Gase has continued to thrust a heavy workload upon veteran rusher Frank Gore.
With the waiving of former star Le’Veon Bell in October and a current IR stint for rookie La’Mical Perine, Gore is on pace for his first 200-carry season since 2017 with Indianapolis.
The 16-year-veteran received 18 of the team’s 21 rushing attempts in Sunday’s 20-3 loss to the Dolphins. Waiver claim Ty Johnson carried the ball twice and Josh Adams ran it once against Miami.
“We’re going to just keep trying to rotate those guys as well as we can. The flow of the game really doesn’t always go as smooth as you want,” Gase said Thursday. “I think, with the amount of games we’ve got left, I feel good about [Gore’s workload]. I mean, watching him practice, you can’t tell. … He still looks pretty good in practice.”
Gore didn’t participate, but he typically doesn’t on Thursdays for load-management reasons.
