[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 472021, member: 655"] A myth? Proven? Where? When? The Giants one year? Lets see what the Giants had. Two backs Jacobs and Bradshaw that combined for 1200+ yards. The Giants as a whole only had 1400+. But here's the rub, they could run the ball when they wanted to. While not in the numbers of high rushing yards of Denver or Houston last year they are only slightly off the number of the two top backs of teams that win the Super Bowl. [CODE]Packers 1996 Bennett 899 Levens 566 1465 Yards Broncos 1997 Davis 1750 Hebron 222 1972 Yards Broncos 1998 David 2008 Loville 161 2169 Yards Rams 1999 Faulk 1381 Holcombe 294 1675 Yards Ravens 2000 Lewis 1364 Holnes 588 1952 Yards Pats 2001 Smith 1157 Faulk 169 1326 Yards Tampa 2002 Pittman 718 Alstott 548 1329 Yards Pats 2003 Smith 642 Faulk 638 1280 Yards Pats 2004 Dillon 1635 Faulk 255 1890 Yards Pitt 2005 Bettis 1202 Bettis 368 1570 Yards Colts 2006 Addi 1081 Rhodes 641 1722 Yards Giants 2007 Jacobs 1009 Ward 602 1611 Yards Pitt 2008 Parker 791 Moore 588 1379 Yards Saints 2009 Thomas 793 Bell 655 1448 Yards Packers 2010 Jackson 703 Khun 281 984 Yards Giants 2011 Jacobs 571 Bradshaw 659 1230 Yards [/CODE] Now these are just the numbers for the two top RB's for each team.
