" I can only assume you mean average yards per carry, since in 2008 he led the NFL with 1760 yards rushing, his career high (in year 2). And over 4300 yards in his 1st 3 seasons is certainly no slouch. Plus more catches this year than in years 1 and 2 combined (43 vs 40) Believe me, I would love to see him break 300 in a game some day, as well as the 2000 barrier for a season. I also believe it could still happen; he's still very young, and still learning many things. I hope he also learns to hold onto the ball better. My opinion is they missed Matt Birk's All-Pro presence at center more than anyone would like to admit. This line's performance was OK but not great, especially in the run game. I think after the first few games, when the competition started getting tougher, their main objective was protection in the passing game, which they did reasonably well, at least until the Saints (who were obviously on a mission).
