Rouhier explained why the Commanders still have some doubts about JCM carrying the load as an every-down back: 'I like him. It seems like they don't as much. And here's my evidence for that. It basically took Chris Rodriguez getting food poisoning or like a last-minute injury for them to finally give him double-digit carries. (In) nine of his 17 games, he averaged less than four yards a pop.'
