PITCH COUNT! Lol! That's the best reason you can come up with? Give me a break. 8 carries in 3 games is not a pitch count with only 1 carry last week. That is a change of pace WR playing RB. The REAL RB had 33 carries in the last 3 game incl 17 last week.
Even at that Statks isn't blowing anyone away. If Mikey thought for a moment that Ty could get the job done on a semi consistent basis he could have him carrying the rock 10 times a game. That would be a pitch count.

I’ll also explain how Rodgers gave SCT to Monty😲!
SCT is a bitch.
What happens is under exertion, dehydration, high altitude, pressure like as in scuba diving, etc.; the red blood cells begin to sickle and they become much less efficient at transporting oxygen. If too many red blood cells sickle, oxygen deprivation to muscles and organs causes them to break down, organs can die…PEOPLE CAN DIE. Monty’s kidneys were bleeding from SCT; this is very serious, 100x more serious than any one or two or 10 concussions.
One of the problems is they don’t know what causes it. Some people w/ SCT go into high altitudes or scuba dive or get dehydrated and DIE. Others with SCT fail to show any outward affects under the same conditions.
Another problem is that after the cells being to sickle they don’t “unsickle.” So when the stresser is gone; they stay sickled for ever. If enough cells sickle it is too dangerous to play football, so a transfusion must be given or time must be given until the sickled cells naturally die off and are replaced by new non sickled cells.
I expect over the last few weeks the med staff has 100% control over Monty’s play in games and practice. A detailed log is kept of everything athletic Monty is doing and he’s probably been pricked for a few drops of blood 10-15-20-50x per day. They’re trying to correlate exactly how much sickling occurs for a certain amount of exertion and rest.
Maybe some good news is that it is believed heat accentuates the sickling; so it’s likely Monty can play more as it gets colder.
Until Monty starts playing a lot, which would indicate the med staff has a grip on what is happening, don’t be shocked if you see them put Monty on IR or he retires.
Oh yea, I think SCT is exasperated by stress, so when Monty thinks he’s not getting Aaron’s trust his cells being to sickle like one’s gonads retract into their cavity after being horse-kicked. [This joke is your reward for reading this book].
