dardan Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Which just means he comes nowhere close to the top in Rushing Attempts per Game (Willie Parker, 23.5; LaDainian Tomlinson, 20.4, Willis McGahee, 20.0)If Norwood was averaging anywhere near 20 Attempts per Game, he most likely would not be leading the league in Yards per Attempt.You can't look at stats in isolation. They are interrelated. That being said, it would be great if he got more carries. At the risk of countering my own point, Adrian Peterson averages 6.1 YPA (Norwood, 6.2) and gets 18.0 Att/G. Norwood is no Adrian Peterson, but he should get more opportunities nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunn got it after 2436 or so rushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtycanadianbird Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I am getting exceedingly tired of hearing Petrino say "Norwood will get more touches" only to see him once again have less than 10 carries for the game.My hope is they are playing for a draft pick and don't want Norwood to get to many opportunities to help us win games. In any case to Bobby P: STOP saying that! Your getting my hopes up for no reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the NFL Running Backs with 70-90 carries on the season, Norwood averages more yards/attempt than the rest.His fragility or lack thereof notwithstanding, he should at the very least get more carries. To say he can't handle the load when he's not getting enough attempts to show if he can or can't is, at best, a specious claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draftjunky Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 1,587 carries to get to 10,000?Do you actually believe this or are you laughing as hard as I am.Do you remember byron harnspard?Similiar guys,byron was a higher pick.Very fast but 3rd year blew a knee and he was gone.Speed backs without the size cant handle the load.Dunn is the exception.He is at the end of his run.

draftjunky Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Perhaps if norwood would have converted he would get more carries.Thats how it works.Get a 1st down and whammy!You get another set of downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draftjunky Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Norwood reminds me of byron.They both were speedy.Anderson was around for 6 or 7 years and had over 420 carries in 1 year.The magority of guys that play rb in the nfl dont get 420 carries in a carreer.I want norwood to succeed but it is what it is.Snelling needs some carries to show if he can pound dunn can do some spot duty.Do you think norwood can handle 300 carries?I dont,I want get snelling and norwood going.Get some help in the offseason.
