I really think what he's saying is (once again) getting back to the idea of starters getting subbed out as the immediate example.
In real football, we understand how this tend to work. The starting RB gets the first couple of series, gets spelled in certain situations, but basically takes all the snaps. Then after a while, he might get a breather for a series, or for a few plays, as the other RB comes in. That is more likely to happen in the middle or later parts of the game. But when you look at the end of the game, you'd see that RB1 got maybe 45 snaps, and RB2 got 15.
In FOF, the end distribution might be the same, but the way the game works you'd see those 15 snaps for RB2 coming basically randomly interspersed throughout the game. He might ne in there for the second play of the game, which seems kinda silly if you look at the game that closely. But in the end, the playing time works out the same way. Pretty much what jdb has been saying here a few times over.
