at the half way point. What is remarkable to me is how consistent we are over the past 3 years through the first 8 games across the board. Each team has felt and looked very different on the field but the team numbers bear out that we are statically the same with only minor variations.Wild.

He will easily be 1,000 yard rusher at this pace and we haven't had a 1,000 yard rusher since Kareem did it in 2017 with 1,327 yards. I know bringing Pacheco back will slow that pace down but damn the idea he could get over a 1,000 yards in less than a full season worth of games is amazing. [Reply]

Also - just wanted to compare Hunt's "wear" and "usage" to other backs in his draft class.
By Rushing Attempts:
Mixon -1,697 rushes, 7,021 yards 103 games
Kamara - 1,465 rushes, 6,489 yards, 110 games,
Cook - 1,357 rushes, 6,227 yards, 103 games
Jones - 1,302 rushes, 6,505 yards, 105 games
McCaffrey - 1,297 rushes, 6,185 yards, 91 games.
Fournette - 1,144 rushes, 4,518 yards, 81 games
Hunt - 1,141 Rushes, 4,850 yards, 96 games
Perine - 468 rushes, 1,885 yards, 101 games
What I love about Hunt joining us during the season is that he’s so fresh we can treat him like a workload back, like last game when he got 27 carries, because we don’t need him to be dominant the whole season, just until Pachecco comes back and then they can split the carries.
How about “Double Dragon” as a nickname for our Pachecco/Hunt combo backfield? Just putting it out there lol [Reply]
