Will Gore Move into third place in Carries/Yards?

Yeah, I can't see the offense being that run heavy to be honest and we have 4 backs that are all gonna get touches in various ways. 

Someone is not going to get touches from week to week. Could be any of the 4. You're not gonna pull a particular back when the guy playing is slicing up a defense. I do feel Shady and Gore will get the Lions share with TJ and Motor sprinkled on 3rd downs. In case of injury it's good to be this deep.

I bet Gore moves past Emmitt Smith in rushing yards in the next 4 seasons. 

 

I never thought E. Smith was a great RB, but he had a great situation.

He needs 137 yards to make it in #3 in rushing. 

If the Bills give him the ball when teams are in prevent defense mode he will get it easily. 

The lowest yards per carry for him has been 3.7 so he would need around 38 carries unless they plan on making him the goal line back.

I think he will make it to #3 and if it is close the Bills will try to make it during a home game.

He could even make it to #2 if Bills decide to use Shady as receiving back in 2 back set as NE does.

You have attempts, not yards, highlighted. 

 

Didnt ring odd to see all time leaders around 3,500?

I believe he needs 522.

He's close.  He needs 522 yards to pass Barry Sanders.  Just shows you how good Barry was retiring at 30.  I don't think he gets there as there's too many mouths to feed.

Im assuming you are kidding as he would be 40.  I agree with the previous post only if McCoy is dealt in camp.

Gore does take care of himself, but come on 40? nah.

Gore’s carry is so weird.  He always used to get hurt and now he never misses a game and has played super long.  I don’t think I’ve ever heard of player much, less a rb, becoming more durable with age.  

I remember Jim Brown considered joining the Raiders in 1983-84 At the age of 47!

That was when Franco was going to pass his yardage. As Franco was by some considered a chicken out there, frequently running out of bounds to avoid a hit and faking injury, the topic of Brown returning arose.
