Jumpin Johnies Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I heard it was going to be a 62.57 / 37.47 split on Sunday. For Thursday, Saturday, or Monday games it will be 61.78 / 38.22. LJ will get the smaller portion regardless of the day of the week. 956988[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin Johnies Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 What history are you referring to, exactly? I see guys like Corey Dillon, Curtis Martin, Tiki Barber, Warrick Dunn going rather well. In fact some having career years post-30. This age 30 thing seems to be a popular thing for FF folks to spit out without really thinking about it... in fact... I see the injury report over the last 12 months littered with young guys like De'shaun Foster, Lee Suggs, Dom Davis, Chris Brown, Duce Staley, Deuce McAllister, Michael Bennett, Marcel Shipp. So much for youth helping out with overcoming or avoiding injuries. Also, how does Holmes' two prior injuries affect this season? Is Willis likely to get hurt or Edge? They both missed entire seasons in the past 3-4 years. How does that connect, exactly? 956898[/snapback] This is a very insightful post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman_Nick Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 From Yahoo Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil continues to field questions about how he will use his two talented running backs, Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson. "I really don't know [how I'd like to use them]. I don't know if there's a scientific way to do it. I think there's an impulsive way to do it. You see someone who's breathing a little hard, who's carried the ball three times and got whacked pretty good; boom, you send the other guy in. I've never really liked to run running backs by committee. But I've never had two guys like this before. It's not a problem. It's better to be that way than have only one guy."

tomfin2000 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Priest, LJ and Blaylock had a combined 500 touches last year (434 rush, 66 pass), 2723 yards and 35 total TD's. Assuming the touches, yards and TD's equal last seasons, here's the breakdown: 70/30 split Priest - 350 touches, 1906 yards, 25 TD's Johnson - 150 touches, 817 yards, 10 TD's 60/40 split Priest - 300 touches, 1634 yards, 21 TD's Johnson - 200 touches, 1089 yards, 14 TD's I could live either of those totals from Priest I agree, and for a fourth or fifth round draft pick, I could certainly live with either of those totals from LJ, especially considering the floatsam and jetsam that is typically available at the RB position by the end of the fourth round in 12 team league.
