Elliott vs. rookie rushing record

[gimmesix]

Didn't realize he had almost 30 less carries than Dickerson at this point. That would be about another 100-plus yards. But I'm not upset with the number of carries Elliott has. I don't see a need for Dallas to push for him to get the record. I'm just interested in seeing if it happens in the natural course of events.

He hasn't had that huge 160-170 yd breakout game which I was sure we'd see by now. He's also lost a ton of yardage due to some very questionable holding penalties. The call on Mayle yesterday and the call on Frederick vs Philly immediately come to mind.

That's a silly stat comparison. Murray was way underutilized in the beginning of his career and we also did not have the commitment to running the ball his first couple of years.

Murray's TD numbers:

2016 8

2015 6

2014 13

2013 9

2012 4

2011 2

I just figured something out.

Dickerson is paying off the refs. I knew there was a reason for those really bad calls.

Always remember everyone has a price.

Ezekiel Elliott had his 4th multiple rushing touchdown game of the season yesterday (11 games).

DeMarco Murray has 4 such games in his entire career (79 games), two of which occurred in his dynamic 2014 campaign with the Cowboys.

Just for some perspective, even if he catches Dickerson at 1808 yards he would still be 37 yards short of Murray's 1845 franchise record

No back needs as many carries as Murray had that year.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

It's not out of the question but he is likely going to fall just a bit short of it.

Which doesn't matter because he's had an amazing rookie year already, what he winds up with is going to be damned good.

Sig is outdated man. You really need to change it. JMO

Nobody make a move. Can't change drawers, sigs, nothing when you're on a ten game streak.

 

[LittleLexodus]

I want to see him break it. They're breaking all sorts of records and I think his workload will increase as the colder weather approaches. Also, he'll have big games against Tampa Bay and Detroit IMO.

The most TDs Murray had was 13 in 2014 (16 games).

Through 11 games in 2014, Murray had 7 TDs.

Zeke has 11 TDs in 11 games.

Man, 610 doesn't seem that much. I know it is with the amount of games left, just doesn't sound out of reach for him at all. A monster game would surely help, obviously. It would be great to see him get it.

Look at the defenses he will face Minnesota, Giants, Eagles. Going to be tough to get it.

Scared to change it, might jinx team

He would need a couple of really big games. The season wears on and the body wears down. He still has a chance but it doesn't get any easier.

Not enough bulk yardage runs.

Said all along without them he wouldn't break the record.

Screw the record. Don't blow your load during the regular season, and not have anything left for the postseason. Lets rest players (if we can) down the stretch, get healthy, and get ready for the Tournament!

The great ones don't think like this FYI.

Refs stole some big yards and TDs from Elliott the last 3 games or so otherwise he's already broken or very close to breaking Dickerson's record.
