[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 302519, member: 1007"] Of course the big run skews his stats, how do you think all the other running backs get their averages up? They have a bunch of small, insignificant runs followed by the occasional huge run. But since we're talking "skewed stats", consider this: If the hold on his 12 yard gainer vs. Chicago didn't happen, he would have averaged 3 ypc, not 1.7. No, not great, but not totally terrible either when you consider Chicago has the best run defense in the league, and that's only with 8 friggin carries. If he were putting up these same numbers while getting the ball 20-25 times a game, we'd be in agreement that we need to do something else. But at the moment he's getting the ball half as much as most feature backs do. I'm sorry, but I maintain that's not enough for him to get into any real kind of rhythm where he can be effective. FWIW, Ryan Grant isn't always over 4 ypc either. The difference though is he got the ball some 7-9 times more per game than Brandon Jackson currently does. 17-19 carries per game vs. 10. Makes a huge difference in the grand scheme of things. [/QUOTE]
