Very Short Player Update

[Hostile]

In order for anyone to chop into his 411 yard lead in the rushing race, LeVeon Bell will need to top 75 yards tonight. Even if he does, the Steelers are on their bye next week and it is likely to get extended again anyway.

 

[LeonDixson]

Based on the title, I thought this was a Sproles/Jackson/Beasley/Welker/Amendola update.

I don't get the 75 yard thing?

Unless Bell gets over 75 yards and jumps into 2nd place on the running back yardage list, Murray will lead by 411 yards over Arian Foster. No matter what, Murray will have a huge yardage lead.

Murray...1233 yards
Arian Foster...822 yards
LeVeon Bell...747 yards

Bell needs more than 75 yards to jump ahead of Foster, but even if he does, He is on bye next week and Murray is going to extend his already enormous lead.

Yet it seems some do not think Murray is all that good and he will all of a sudden be a bad RB next season. lol

I thought this was a Darren Sproles update.

The math is wrong. It's a 511 yard lead......

I still keep a look at Ware and his sacks.
He passed Peppers to #15 all time list with 126 career sacks.
He is 1/2 a sack behind Derrick Thomas, 2 behind Ricky Jackson, 3 behind Jared Allen.
6.5 behind Lawrence Taylor who is # 10 all time.

But he's also doing it quietly. You hardly hear anything about him in the game highlights. Letting him go is looking like a good move.

He has Von Miller on the opposite to also get attention. So that makes a huge difference.
But yes, doing it quietly. Letting him go was still the right move, if for anything, future direction of the team and salary cap reasons to move forward.

Why do you say that? 1233 - 822 = 411

Not where I learned math. 12-8=4 and 33-22=11.

Something funny is going on with the math, but I don't see the "511", you're talking about.

The 411 number seems to be how much Murray would lead by if Bell got exactly 75 yards tonight.

EDIT: Well, it's also exactly how much Murray leads Foster by. Numbers aren't wrong, just the relationship between the numbers isn't particularly clear because the lead is between Foster (#2) and Murray (#1), but the conversation is about Bell because he plays tonight.

 

[Risen Star]

So...what exactly is so confusing about this thread?

Its a joke from a past thread about Murray and his rushing lead.

 

[jazzcat22]

Murray leads by a lot of yards, doesn't matter if Bell gets 175 yards. They still have a bye, Murray gains that back that week.
Foster is his closest competitor.
At 411 yard lead, Foster would need to out gain Murray by 68.5 yards per game to tie him in the next 6 games.

Anyone think that will happen?

Not if Foster continues to miss games, no.

I thought this was going to be about Beasley...
