Can Slaton be a Feature Back?

[HPF Bob]

Perhaps I exaggerate but you also have to factor in that a 25-30 carry guy isn't doing that *every game*. If his team falls behind, most coaches abandon the run and start throwing to catch up. And if his team is well ahead, most coaches will sit the starter and not abuse him. Most teams will have at least 3-4 games during a season that will skew the touches/game average.

But when he is needed, a feature back is good for 25-30 carries and I'm not sure Slaton's body can stand up to that on a regular basis nor do I think that's the best way to utilize him.
