Will Buffalo Have a 1,000 Yard Rusher in 2019

Josh Allen.

 

listen , everybody is scared about his health and that is normal... but the Bills drafted him because he could do this...

 

his legs will only open up the passing game and he is not afraid to throw. If he is still running like this at 28 we would have a problem 

 

I think Allen Throws for 3300 yards and runs for 1000 with 30 total TDs

 

20 passing, 10 rushing and the league takes notice

 

TT got up slow every time he ran... defenders get up slow after hitting Josh Allen... he just needs to get down a bit more

you are basing this against garbage like the Fish and Jets, they are not even decent teams....

I’m not basing this on anyhing but my own observations and seeing josh at Wyoming.

 

1000 yards is literally like 64 yards a game. Josh can get that with 5-6 scrambles a game...

 

he was running for almost 200 ypg in community college

 

get him more lineman and WRs and he will look very good

You put that many yards on a quarterback, I am hoping you love Matt Barkley

 

Look at the hits he's taking when he runs. Then look at the hits he takes while standing in the pocket.

 

Until we get a competent o-line, he's safer on the run.

Exactly 

 

he gets destroyed 10x worse in the pocket rn

 

headshots and all

I would like to agree with you, but he is still an aggressive runner, especially when the end zone or first down marker is within reach. I don’t think that will go away any time soon, but hopefully he uses it more sparingly.

 

That's the right approach with selective aggressiveness depending on the situation.

On this team, you're right.  I wonder what % of his rushing yards are on broken plays vs designed runs.

3300 yards passing is only 206/game. He'll have to be a bit better than that to take the next step, which should be well within reason if we upgrade the weapons & OL.

This question leads to thinking that we will be having the current RBs and current line blocking, if that is what you call it. I suspect that we will have two new (younger) backs and at least three new linemen (and a different WR, too). Right now, there are eight in the box on plays to RBs, when they have someone in the backfield. With new personnel, things will open up more. I don't know about 1000 yard rusher, but I think there will be a considerable improvement.

I’m not saying he will peak at 3300 yards. If he runs for 1000 it will be awfully hard to throw for 4000 or 3700 or something like that

 

But having a season of over 4000 yards would be taking a huge step

 

he will be a dual threat and run a good amount the next few years. It would be stupid to not utilize his gifts

 

eventually I wanna see a 4000 yard season

The title of this topic needs to be changed.  Obviously everyone is only talking about Josh Allen rushing.  As far as him rushing, i'm torn as to what I wanna see him doing.  I love that he's great at scrambling to pick up first downs or a TD, but at the same time, I would much rather see him throw for over 4,000 yards a season and run less.  it looks great now, but it only takes one good hit to end his career.  i.e. RGIII.  Heck, most of us thought and was hopeful that EJ may have been our guy, but a good hit during that Browns game pretty much ended his career as a starter.  As we all know, he's a one man show because we have no one else.  Get Josh some damn weapons this off season please!

I heard on the morning show streaming WGR today that Cam Newton has averaged 100 rushes per season consistently for approximately 500 yds, and he’s only missed something like 3 starts over the course of his career due to injury. Should numbers around that mark be the goal? 

 

I just think JA is doing whatever he can to try to help this team win and I’m ok with it so long as it’s done in the right moments—I think naturally his running will come back to earth as his targets improve in ability—I do think he really does try to look downfield first generally speaking. As many others have stated already, he’s a one man show by necessity right now.
