I don't care, the number speak for themselves :
(fumble %)
Faulk : Career : 2.3%, 2005 : 3%
Dillon : Career : 1%, 2005 : 0.4%
Barber : Career : 1.7%, 2005 : 0.2%
I'm not denying the fumble%, but like I said, you use Faulk as a spot player and you get productive results. Use him as a feature back, and it becomes diminishing returns. When the Dillon struggled in 2005, and Antwain Smith was ineffective in 2002-2003, BB started using Faulk in more featured roles. This is where the fumbling problem occured. When the running game is working, BB/Weis have, in the past, used Kevin effectively as a 1st-down grabber while minimizing the fumble risks to an acceptable level. It's almost paradoxial; the less you use Faulk, the more productive he is.
