Derrius Guice A Non-Factor Against Eagles
5 years agoWashington Redskins running back Derrius Guice carried the ball just 10 times for 18 yards in his regular-season debut. It's not incredibly surprising to see him struggle on the road against a tough Eagles team to start his career, but it is somewhat puzzling that he didn't see more touches when the Redskins jumped out to a sizable early lead. It's even more concerning that he had the ground game all to himself with Adrian Peterson a healthy scratch, and 10 carries is still all he got. The optimistic viewpoint here is the Redskins simply didn't want to run him into the ground in his first real game action after finally getting him back from a torn ACL. But his workload and the lack of production will definitely give you pause when considering whether to deploy him in Week 2 lineups.
