I mean, 11th defense @ points scored against, so its not like he was overworked in the Kick return game. And it’s not like we came out in 3 receiver sets at a Saints, Colts, Pats or Chargers frequency.

Sure, less touches for ANY player means less of a chance for injury. Certainly it should be monitored. But he’s not seeing either side of the field with too much frequency, imo. He got injured, it happens.

With Arenas, it’s different. He most certainly saw more action in Nickel sets than Dex saw in Trips, in addition to picking up the slack while Dex was out for 5 weeks.

Look at Jamaal Charles versus Eric Berry.

Eric berry was in for like 100% of the snaps plus Special teams play.

Obviously they had Jamaal Charles on a limited schedule. How do they determine this? I have no idea. Though it is part of how they do things.

If the Chiefs felt Arenas and McCluster couldn’t handle everything on their plates and still be effective. Then I doubt we would see them put them into those situations at all. 2011 will be very telling for how they feel about their abilities to produce in many roles at their sizes. I have no doubt it effected Arenas’s shiftiness in the return game. This isn’t college.

Properly used Arenas will explode.

Would not be opposed to that at all.

Amendola locks up the slot, easy.

Though it is yet to be seen, I dislike the rule change. Though it will be good for Succop to actually get touchbacks, and he has the perfect leg to pin opponents deep under the new rule.

Another good point. I think it makes it even more important to be quick, like Dex.
