Giants mailbag: Paul Perkins' workload, fullback odds, Week 1 right tackle?

Related Topics: Orleans Darkwa, Paul Perkins

Perkins has been named the starting RB, is the goal for him to play 65% of the snaps w/Vereen and Gallman sprinkled in?

Sixty-five percent of the carries feels a bit too high for Paul Perkins, even after he was named the starter.

Shane Vereen is going to get some carries (and he should, because he was extremely effective last year, fumbles aside). The Giants may turn Orleans Darkwa loose a bit more now that he’s healthy. Wayne Gallman will also factor in at some point, likely later in the year as he gets settled in, and Shaun Draughn could also be in the mix.
