I think it's a catch 22 and I've been saying this for awhile. the problem with Warner is that he's so good right now you almost feel stupid ever running the ball. 9 out of 10 audibles will be to a passing play, because he's so confident right now. Given that you know teams are trying to hit Kurt and that means you want your best blitz pickup RB in the game which is still Edge.
The catch of course is that IMHO if Hightower were getting more carries, we'd be able to run the ball better, and Kurt wouldn't HAVE to throw as much. The problem is unless Whiz takes the audible away from Kurt, he's going to audible to a pass more often than not whoever is in at RB. You have to protect Kurt so you have to play Edge.
I think we'd be more balanced with TH in there but I'm also afraid he'd miss 1-2 blocks a game that Edge would make that might result in Warner getting hit and either fumbling, or worse getting injured.
That TD run Sunday was ridiculous that's a 6 yard loss for most RB's not a TD, even Edge might make the first hit miss, but he's not going to bust into the endzone like that.
We have a dilemma, we need to run the ball better but in doing so we might expose our QB to hits.
