gaining 1,000 yards in his first 10 games, which would of put him in some very elite company. I don't recall who the other 4 backs were that accomplished that (except Dickerson) feat and were mentioned during the game tonight but they were all superstar backs.
I am willing to give JJ the benefit of the doubt for extra 7 yards. :)

He didn't seem to be running very hard in the second half. The Skins D was starting to wear down and he had some open holes but didn't explode through them. HE was either tired or hurt. We should of given the ball to Thomas some in the 3rd quarter.

OK, so he's the fifth player in history to rush for 993 yards in his first 10 games. And keep in mind that he had only five carries for 16 yards before getting hurt in his first game. In his past nine games, he has 977 yards rushing.

I thought he looked fine in the fourth quarter. He had seven carries for 37 yards (and that includes a 1-yard run when Bledsoe fumbled the snap), five of those carries gained at least 5 yards, and he pushed the pile a few times.

Yeah, but I think at that point it was more blocking, and less JuJo. He had a lot of room to run in the 4th, but didn't seem to have much explosion. He had an opportunity to get outside on a couple of runs for a possible big gain, but pounded it up the gut instead. On one run he had a ton of running room, got about 8 yards, but just ran into the safety. Didn't try to stiff arm, juke, or lower his shoulder. Just ran as if the safety wasn't even there, and he was right in front of him. He was also getting up very slow after every carry. I know he had good runs, but he left some yards on the field.
