Adam Gase is on record: He wants to get Jay Ajayi 22 to 25 carries per game in 2016 — which comes out to 350 on the year, if he stays healthy.
Forgive us if we think Ajayi doesn’t come close to that total.
It’s not that Ajayi can’t handle the workload. He had nearly that many rushing attempts in two fewer games his last year at Boise State.
Rather, it’s simply a matter of math. There probably won’t be enough snaps to do it, because the two backs behind Ajayi on the depth chart will make it tough for Gase to ignore them completely.
