"Yeah, you go into every week, and it's hard to put an exact number on a full season," Brady said of the touches McCaffrey should anticipate once the season starts. "Obviously, you like him getting carries at the ends of games, that means we're able to run the football, and at the end of the game win.
"You go into a game with a mindset on how many plays are in a game, and how many times you'd like him to get the ball, if there are 70 times you'd like him to get the ball 70 times. But the reality is we have to be smart with that. We're not sitting there with the mindset of, it's 300 touches, it's 400 touches, it's a game-to-game and situationally, we evaluate it week to week."
McCaffrey missed 13 games last year with a collection of injuries, but prior to that, he was what they call in the business a bell-cow back.
He had 403 touches in 2019, and his league-high 2,392 yards from scrimmage proved what he could do with a high workload.
McCaffrey joked last week that the best way to keep from taking abuse was to literally not take as much abuse.
"Yeah, I think just make people miss and not get tackled, that's probably the best way you can limit hits," McCaffrey said. "But nah, it's part of football. I think it's the best position on the field. The whole thing, and you've always got to stay physically prepared, mentally prepared, and emotionally prepared, and if you kind of check those boxes every day, and fall in love with your routine throughout the week and make it consistent, just be proactive with it."
Of course, this year presents even more of a challenge of budgeting how much to use him, since there's at least one more game. With the league expanding the regular season to 17 games, Brady said they have to be even more mindful of the workload.
