Can James Cook run for 2000 yards?

Even more incredible considering he is only on the field for ~59% of our offensive plays.

 

To put that into perspective, Jonathan Taylor is on the field for ~85% of the Colts offensive plays. 

Cook has 5 more carries this season than Taylor (231 to 226) though.  Only McCafferty has more than Cook with 237.

OJ will always be the benchmark for me regarding 2000 yards in a season.

Any RB that does it in 14 games or less, I'll be super impressed!

[shane nelson]

I hope not, ideally he would rest the last 2 weeks of the season.  Probably not the case, but it would be nice 

[Gregg]

Probably not. My guess is somewhere between 1600 - 1800.

I think 1800 is reasonable. How much fun is he to watch?  His personality is perfect for our team. When he had that devastating fumble that led to go ahead score, he came out and took the game over. Having him and Josh together for years to come give Bills fans a reason to believe we’re not far from a championship.

Its more fun to watch josh. Team remind me of the team we had with tyrod and shady.... well we did end the drought so there is that.

At this rate there's a good chance he's not playing agains the Jets, so I doubt it.

He needs 772 yards and he has 6 games to get it. 

 

He is averaging 111 yards a game this season. He needs to average 128 over the next 6 games

 

Does he get it?

He only have 5 games (Bengals, Browns, Patriots, Eagles, Jets).  775 yards is a tall order in 5 games...

[Warriorspikes51]

no but  1800 is possible

He won't and it's not a worry. He has had a fantastic season and I want him with energy in the playoffs. Good thing is that his running style is fluid and he is not a bruiser. That should extend the tread on his tires this and in future seasons.

yes

[GASabresIUFan]

G-d I hope not.  That means we are handing him the ball way too much and he’ll be done by playoff time.  IMHO, I’d like to see him used more in the passing game.  His ability to make tackler’s miss is a huge asset.  Lineup Davis or Johnson in the backfield and split Cook out to give defenses a look they haven’t seen and won’t know how to defend.  From this lineup you can run, throws screens to Cook or Johnson/Davis or slide Cook underneath on a slot etc…. GA did this with Cook and it drove teams mad. 

[SoonerBillsFan]

No.  I just cant see it happening considering teams now know he is our offense.

Carries has nothing do with my point.

 

Because Taylor is on the field for most of the offenses snaps, the defense doesn’t know whether the Colts are going to run or pass the ball. This gives Taylor an advantage because the defense has to be cautious.

 

When Cook is on the field, he is almost always getting the ball. That is to his disadvantage.

 

 

[Gregg]

Cook can join Gilchrist and OJ as only the 3rd Bills running back in their history to lead the league in rushing if he can catch JT these final games.

If he does someone should be fired.

 

We need this guy in January.

 

What if he averages like 12 yds/carry ?
