YoloinOhio Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 @SalSports: ICYMI: Fred Jackson on the Bills aggressive offseason & his role in 2015. Said team wants Shady to have 300+ carries: http://t.co/jFYadfX4im Recap of interview and link to full WGR audio with Fred in tweet I don't see Bryce Brown making the team unless there is an injury. Mccoy, Fred, Karlos, Boobie will be enough. If they are going to give McCoy that many touches, Brown would be inactive anyway. Fred for pass blocking, Karlos and Boobie play ST.

Nanker Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) 300/16 = 18.75 average carries a game. Dat's do-able. 5 a quarter +/- Edited June 3, 2015 by Nanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 300/16 = 18.75 average carries a game. Dat's do-able. 5 a quarter +/- I was hoping for 20/game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 @SalSports: ICYMI: Fred Jackson on the Bills aggressive offseason & his role in 2015. Said team wants Shady to have 300+ carries: http://t.co/jFYadfX4im A run - heavy team like the Texans, Seasnakes, or Ninahs features 500-550 rushing attempts per season. Say 500 for simplicity, that's 3/5 or 60% of the rushing attempts. For comparison, last year Arian Foster had 260 carries out of 551, Marshawn had 280 out of 525, Murray had 392 out of 505. I think Murray was a bit over-worked, but basically 300 seems like a reasonable goal - a bit less than 20 carries per game. Freddie, 60% means someone else will be getting the other 200 carries - get ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Did you ever expect it to be any fewer? If the Bills lead the league in Rushing attempts this year, and they sound like they want to. 300 carries would be about 52-53% of the total carries if you use the average (550) of the leaders over the last 5 years. My guess would be they probably want Shady to have 60-65% of the carries(330-350). A run - heavy team like the Texans, Seasnakes, or Ninahs features 500-550 rushing attempts per season. Say 500 for simplicity, that's 3/5 or 60% of the rushing attempts. For comparison, last year Arian Foster had 260 carries out of 551, Marshawn had 280 out of 525, Murray had 392 out of 505. I think Murray was a bit over-worked, but basically 300 seems like a reasonable goal - a bit less than 20 carries per game. Freddie, 60% means someone else will be getting the other 200 carries - get ready You beat me to it.

BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 This is more about Fred being a humble teammate. He knows as well as we do that hamstrings and groins happen. My prediction Fred 200 Dixon/Karlos 200 Shady 100 Harvin/Sammy/Others 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction Fred 200 Dixon/Karlos 200 Shady 100 Harvin/Sammy/Others 50 I love Freddy, but if this were to really happen the Bills would be in big trouble this year. They need Shady's explosive play making ability on the field as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 So how many games are you predicting Shady missing? 11? Apparently twice as many as McCoy has missed in his 6 year career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously.I'm all for the role players stepping up but there have been some weird (or completely ridiculous) thoughts on here lately. I saw Clay as the 3rd TE and Charles making Dareus expendable.
