It's been like that for years.

In 1998 when Jamal Anderson had 410 carries, the rest of the team still had 106 carries not by him. Also in 1998, when Terrell Davis had over 2000 yards on 392 carries, the rest of the team had 133 rushes. In 2006 when LJ racked up 416 carries to break the record for carries in a season, his team had 97 other rushing attempts. I could go on and on, there is always a complimentary runner or group of runners to the main guy. ALWAYS
