Well, I mean it's forced missed tackles as well, and ETN and CMC among others are also there, seems like you're cherry picky Najee. It's cool, you're not high on Walker, doesn't bother me. I think Charbs is a solid back. I just think Walker's better. The Seahawks will use both, they don't care about FF, they want to win.

One things for certain, both KW and Charbs should touch the ball more than they did last week. Walker was definitely being managed, he was on the sideline testing out/stretching his calf, at times, so something to monitor this week. He didn't carry an injury designation, but I never completely trust ole Pete with that stuff.

You don't need to sell me on him being a *very* good back. The fact that he's succeeding with this "jazz improvisation" style - despite the fact that he's consistently off-script - is why I was saying he's hilarious in the first place. I've always been a fan, I am in no doubt of his talent.

But again, I think you're dodging the point by just posting more highlight rosterbation. I understand that reflex, but you should be careful you don't let your love of the player blind you to the looming situation.

If there's another very talented back on the roster, who executes the scheme better... I think you're deluding yourself if you don't think that guy is going to eat into his carry-share in this modern time-share NFL. This could easily continue tilting more Charbonnet's way imo - the coaching staff is putting more and more trust in him, especially this week just been.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if it's the start of something.

I think Walker is fine

I would never take him around Gibbs/Etienne/JT where he has been going

I think Charbonnet has been better of late but I don't see him taking the job and running away with it or anything. But if he keeps playing at this level and considering Walker's efficiency it is going to be very difficult for the latter to earn enough volume to be anything more than a back end RB1 going forward

Like, we get it. You like Walker more than consensus. You must have a legitimate 50+ posts in this thread alone saying the same thing.

Anyways, I'm curious to monitor the next few weeks with Walker's injury and Charbs increasing snap share. I'm not someone that thinks Charbs > Walker (though I think there's a decent chance the coaching staff wants that to be the case), but they are both going to have their work cut out for them with a brutal stretch coming up - LAR / SF / DAL / SF / PHI / TEN is about as brutal as it gets.

My last post was talking about Walker re-aggravating his calf and that Charbs may get lead touches for the first time in his career. Do me a favour, simply block me, or stop reading my posts. I'm all for it. I'm not responding to your posts on this topic again.

... I don't know if I particularly buy this one (because the person charting it would have to "know" / decide which gap was the correct one for the play each time)

But if nothing else, it's definitely hilarious for our boy Walker.

How often teams don't run into their intended run gap (x-axis), and their rushing success rate when that happens (y-axis). The Bucs have 22 rushes where the runner doesn't run into the gap they're supposed to, and they've had an unsuccessful rush on every single play

He's just out here taking a Jazz solo on every snap.

I’m a big stats guy but it’s painfully obvious when people only use them to confirm their priors.

Chris Johnson only had 2.0 ypc in I-Formation in 2010. He blows!

It’s been a popular discussion in the Tennessee Titans' press room the past couple weeks. How often is Chris Johnson running for 2 yards or less and how does it compare to what’s happening around the league?

Bob McClellan, who writes a blog that often touches on the Titans, had been tracking Johnson's rate and poking around on it.

So I took it to James Barger of ESPN Stats & Information, who provided me with the information you see to the right.

I’m surprised that almost half the rushing attempts in the league gain 2 yards or less. And Johnson’s rate of 53.3 percent is quite a drop off when compared to his rate last year (44.7).

Actually did some googling this morning for a few minutes. If CJ2K existed today, you’d have stat nerds trying to convince you he sucks.

Short-yardage rushing success rate leaders:

88% — Kareem Hunt (Jerome Ford ranks dead last, with a 27% rate)
82% — Christian McCaffrey
80% — Brian Robinson
79% — Kenneth Walker
78% — Ezekiel Elliott
75% — Isiah Pacheco
