NFC East Position Rankings: Running Back

[mgoblue2290]

Okay the only 2 corps that has vets are the Giants and Redskins. Dallas and Philly are working with more so rookies. If Jacobs goes down so does the Running game for NY. If Westbrook goes down so does the Running game for Philly. Betts has shown up in place of Portis :2thumbs: but for you to say Dallas aint shit and they got what they got with injuries on the O-Line and with 2 of their main RB's... Please shut the Fuck up! I'm done with you.

If Barber goes down for the year I'm willing to bet the Dallas run game goes with him. Jones had a lot of success because teams prepared for Barber to grind it out between the tackles. If Jones was the feature back, it'd be a lot harder for him to have the success he had when he played in those couple games. Every single team has injuries, you deal with it. There are no asterisks on a running back's stats because his offensive line wasn't healthy, that just how it works.

Also, Dallas didn't run the ball more so quit talking all this hypothetical bullshit. Every team has big ifs every season, but the 2008 season is over. When you figure out who the best players are, usually you use what they've accomplished, not what they could accomplish. All that matters is what happened, not what would've happened if Dallas had 50 more rushing attempts, they didn't. Quit talking about what could've happened, we realize the Cowboys are the GOAT every year on paper.

It seems that his articles always cause so much shit because he puts Dallas at the top. Coming from a Cowboys fan we do not have the best running back combo in the East. That belongs to New York. We do have more depth than the Eagles and Redskins (even though their number 1 back is better than any one of our backs). I would still say Dallas is 2nd is depth and 3rd/4th (if we are talking about just running the ball then Dallas is 3rd but if we are talking about running, blocking, catching then Dallas is 4th behind the Eagles imo)

El Oh Fucking El at this thread.



Great Job cowboys. Another successful year rushing just like you said it would be!


Oh wait, once again no 1,000 yard rushers.

Washington Redskins

Clinton Portis - 494 yards, 124 attempts, 4.0 avg, 1 TD
Rock Cartwright - 228 yards, 64 attempts, 3.6 avg, 0 TD
Quinton Ganther - 201 yards, 62 attempts, 3.2 avg, 3 TD
Ladell Betts - 210 yards, 56 attempts, 3.8 avg, 2 TD


Combined: 1133 yards, 306 attempts, 3.7 avg, 6 TD



Philadelphia Eagles

Lesean McCoy - 637 yards, 155 attempts, 4.1 avg, 4 TD
Leonard Weaver - 323 yards, 70 attempts, 4.6 avg, 2 TD
Brian Westbrook - 274 yards, 61 attempts, 4.5 avg, 1 TD


Combined: 1234 yards, 286 attempts, 4.3 avg, 7 TD


New York Giants

Brandon Jacobs - 835 yards, 224 attempts, 3.7 avg, 5 TD
Ahmad Bradshaw - 778 yards, 163 attempts, 4.8 avg, 7 TD

Combined: 1613 yards, 387 attempts, 4.2 avg, 12 TD


Dallas Cowboys

Marion Barber - 932 yards, 214 attempts, 4.4 avg, 7 TD
Felix Jones - 685 yards, 116 attempts, 5.9 avg, 3 TD
Tashard Choice - 349 yards, 64 attempts, 5.5 avg, 3 TD

Combined: 1966 yards, 394 attempts, 5.0 avg, 13 TD


Let's see. More yards on more attempts, MUCH higher rushing average, AND led the NFC East in rushing touchdowns.

Argath needs to shut the FUCK up. There wasn't a single 1,000 yard rusher in the NFC East this season and don't EVEN fucking dare come around saying, "yeah, well Portis would have had his nice 1000 yard chunk this year had he been healthy and yada yada yada I keep talking bullshit out my mouth."

Remember, injuries are all part of the game.

We get it. You hate the fucking Cowboys and you're pissed that your panties are twisted in a fucking knot over the mess that Daniel Snyder has made of your beloved racially-named team.

I'm still waiting on those dominant Cowboys rushers everyone was bragging about. All those potential 1,000 yard rushers really are living up to their potential aren't they?


It's funny, you use injuries as an excuse for the cowboys terrible running last year, now this year the skins have injuries and you say "oh injuries are part of the game." I mean, I could go on to say we had 4 different RB's starting at different points this year and, of course, 11 different starters among the oline. Not to mention the practice squad players we had starting at various times in the year.


I never said anything about the redskins rushers, I knew we blew dick this year. Hell, our whole fucking team blew dick. We didn't have one single stand-out player who had even a remotely good year. But that doesn't change the fact that the cowboys RB's are mediocre at best.




I stand by the fact, the cowboys do not have a RB on their roster who has reached 1,000 yards in one season yet. I'm sure you guys will get there with all that potential though!




Edit: Oh wait, I forgot to mention the Redskins didn't have as many carries as the cowboys! Surely the redskins would have surpassed the cowboys if they had the same amount of carries!

Okay the Giants had "100" more attempts than Dallas gained between 700-800 more yards, gained only 7 more TD's and YPC was higher... Damn if Dallas ran the Ball more

The Redskins had roughly 80 more carries than Dallas, so they had roughly 400 more yards and TD's were the same... also they averaged ".1" more YPC than Dallas... If Only Dallas Ran the Ball More


The Eagles Ran the ball roughly 30 more times than Dallas and didnt get more yards than Dallas despite this fact Dallas was roughly 30 yards ahead of Philly. Also Philly had 3 more TD's than Dallas.... Damn if Dallas ran the ball more....

Massive fail

Since when do you need a 1000 yard rusher to be a good rushing team? The Cowboys have 3 good backs, all perfectly capable of rushing for 1000 yards should they get enough carries.

Yeah, Argath the Failath's timing with this thread is the same as Killa Pand calling Josh McDaniels' season a success after Denver's season-ending loss to KC.
