I read one interview transcript with Gruden after the game earlier today, Gruden said that he chose to keep Peterson inactive for the Eagles game only because he doesn't play special team. Gruden knew Eagles will use Sproles as returner so he wanted players who can help contain Sproles. I understand where Gruden came from, I don't agree with the move but I am not holding it against him.

Do you believe that was the real reason? I don't understand why Guice had to carry the whole load for the running game when:

1. His first NFL game - ever.
2. After spending the previous season down with an ACL - first regular season return game after injury.

I know he was cleared to play by the medical staff. I know he only ran for 10 carries. Still, wouldn't a LITTLE caution be prudent under these two conditions?
