Backfield carries/yards

[Ragin_Kage]

Last year the Cowboys had 429 carries for 1705 yards (4ypc)

Dowdle had 235 carries for 1,079 yards
Elliot had 74 carries for 226 yards
QB's had 50 carries for 113 yards
Vaughn had 17 carries for 70 yards
Turpin had 16 carries for 92 yards
Lamb had 14 carries for 70 yards
Luepke had 12 carries for 38 yards
Cook had 8 carries for 20 yards
Cooks had 3 carries for -3 yards


What predictions do you have for this years?

I'm thinking 450 carries for 1,921 yards (4.3ypc)
Sanders - 170 carries for 714 yards
Williams - 130 carries for 533 yards
Blue - 80 carries for 392 yards
Turpin - 35 carries for 207 yards
QB's - 20 carries for 100 yards
Lamb - 15 carries for 75 yards
(I'm sure there will be some random outliers for injuries, but can't predict who)

Feel free to break it down into RBs/WR's/QB's if you dont want to be so specific.

Only 1 more carry per game?????

Yup for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Winnipeg has the CFL's leading rusher for the last two seasons, so I don't think they want Deuce (though he just came back from an injury after missing a month, so you never know). Haha.

Yeah I figured with Dak healthy they will still throw often even with the "emphasis" on the run game

 

[Coogiguy03]

Hopefully these numbers increase and we see less passing from Dak 20-25 times a game!!

 

[DeaconMoss]

Where is that Mafah nation?

[Cowboys5217]

Rushing numbers will go down even further this year.

Truthfully how can you start dividing up yards and touchdowns and touches before we even know which ones are going to make the roster? Like to see more explosive plays impact plays more touchdowns from the running back position more explosiveness as far as chunkyards over 20+

Ricos close to 1200 yards is nice but his lack of touchdowns and explosiveness just made it seem like eating a whole head of lettuce for dinner kind of empty calories I’d like to see a lot more entrées from the running backs
