He wasnt at USC and he shouldnt be now. But in saying that I do believe he should always be on the field because the defense has to account for him no matter what. If they do underestimate him they will get burned. I will probably get roused for this but I think that we should also help Deuce out by having him split time with Pierre Thomas. That way we can nearly assure deuce will stay healthy and not take as much punishment. That may also keep defenses off balance with the change of pace. Pierre averaged 4.8 ypc last year. Gotta love the pottential with so many weapons. I dont think that Reggie is a lead back. He wasnt at USC and he shouldnt be now.

His acceleration is so explosive and his speed easily at the top of the league, that all he needs to use both of those elements more to his advantage. A perfect example is Devin Hester (Chicago). Though he lacks the overall talent of Reggie, his running style plays to his advantage. While Reggie tends to dance more, trying to make guys miss, Hester runs full speed and makes sharp cuts which do not decrease his speed, making it harder for the defence to wrap him up. The most they're able to get is an arm around him, which is not enough to stop the amount of momentum behind him. But as Reggie slows down to dance, he looses than momentum allowing players to square their shoulders to him and he provides the rest of the defence with and opportunity to close their distance to him. If Reggie adapted his style and simply used his acceleration and speed similar to that of Hester, he'd be a serious force to be recokoned with! On a side note....I do love watching Pierre run!!
