How will the carries split? (Westbrook/Dixon)

Shop Find 49ers gear online
Im guessing Westbrook gets 80% Dixon gets 20%.

Westbrook will be primary back, with Dixon being a relief/change of pace back.

Dixon will be a short yardage and goalline back, but expect Westbrook to get most of the carries.
needs to be 70/30 or 60/40.

Im not impressed with Dixon's running style. He needs to hit the whole harder, he dances a little too much. Sometimes he reminds me of Barlow.

He appears to always be looking to bounce it out. He also stands too high when making his move to the hole.

I want 80/20; but, am expecting to see 99.995/0.005.

I noticed this he got stuffed at the goalline the play before his TD run. He stopped his feet entirely and got clobbered. As a bigger RB, he should always have his feet moving forward toward the line of scrimmage his momentum should carry him into the endzone.

I think it should be a 50/50 split but ride the hot hand on a game by game basis depending on which RB is feeling it that day.
80/90 westbrook

Mark Purdy said on Chronicle Live that he doesn't see Westbrook getting more than 15 carries a game. He will always be in on 3rd and long for blitz pick up, and obviously Dixon nails down all short yardage/goal line carries.
