Coach55 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Scary Statistic - so far this pre-season, the Bills Running Backs have combined for 74 carries for 411 yards. That is a WHOPPING 5.6 yards per carry. I don't if this a reflection of improved line play, better play calling, better coaching, higher quality of backs or a combination of the four. But any way you look at it - If they can keep this up into the regular season, our running game will be unbelievably good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only this, but of our top 4 running-backs in terms of yards this pre-season, CJ Spiller has the lowest YPC average (4.7). http://www.nfl.com/teams/buffalobills/statistics?team=BUF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poznasty51 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Our starters have been playing longer than other teams. This could inflate the numbers. Otherwise, those are encouraging stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 In regards to our backs... FJ is questionable/doubtful for the opener, but they made it sound like Lynch could be back by the Lions game and shouldn't be an issue for opener. However, Lynch has yet to practice and there has been little to no update on his ankle. Am I missing something? To me it would seem he needs to get practicing in the next couple days if he is to at full speed and effective come the 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOKIE Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) Our starters have been playing longer than other teams. This could inflate the numbers. Otherwise, those are encouraging stats. Not to dispute your overall point, but our "starters" havn't played for the last two games. EDIT: I meant Jackson and Lynch - not the line.

cmjoyce113 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Actually our starters have been playing less. Most starters last weekend played well into the third quarter. I know Palmer came out after the 1st quarter but I know Brady and the Pats played the entire third and Sanchez played into the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjprime Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Actually they showed a stat last night during the replay, Something about how Buffalo was the only team to have 3 RBs over 4 yards a carry through the 3 preseaon games. Or something similiar, DVR didn't work otherwise I'd double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be very interesting to see how the running game does when teams actually game plan for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
