Chas56 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 3 minutes ago, 947 said: 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. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessYaDigg Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I hope not because it will most likely mean the O-line still sucks and/or Allen hasn't learned to stay and move in the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Most definitely a 1000 yard rusher in 2019 ... Either McBean fixes the o-line and some RB gets 1000 or it'll be the fans running from their season tickets if and when Allen gets bludgeoned.

Mr. WEO Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Maybe. But that guy isn't on the roster right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Allen may end up with a 1,000 yards in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
