Can Stewart Reach 1,000 Yards?


TylerDurden

Recommended Posts

He's got to get 301 yards in 3 games. I think he could get a bulk of that against Denver. I know stats don't really matter, but everyone knows that 1,000 yards has typically been the plateau of an effective season for a RB (although that is not always the case). It would just be awesome if both our backs went over 1,000 yards...

he and williams were neck and neck, both averaging 60 yards a game until arounf week 8 or so when williams started to pull away

ideally we would have another lions/tampa game with denver which would give him around 120 yards or so

a really good game against the giants would be around 60 yards

and then hopefully the saints don't feel like playing spoiler and he gets 120 yards again, if we're not resting him by then

thats a tall order

All I know is we got one hell of a combo back there that when healty I would put up against any others in the league. If he didn't get hurt we would easily have 2 1000 yard backs but this year might be a little tough (though possible). Next year, no problem.

Between the Saints and the Bronco's it's possible. However, if the OL blocks like they did against the Bucs, JAke has a chance at rushing for 1k before the season is over.

OL was the game MVP against the Bucs- no questions asked.

agree'd, williams and stewart made the defense look stupid because mostly they were shrugging off tiny DBs, rarely did the front 7 get their hands on them

After the Washington preseason game, I asked if we would ever have a real game where both our backs went over 100 yards. I, like many, thought it impossible. Not here. Well, it's happed, this season, twice. After years of floundering, a new bar has been set for our running game.

So far, our backs and line have exceeded my expectations, and I would be not at all shocked to see Stewart reach 1000. Traditionally, we have been a team that peaks in December and January, so hopefully the best is yet to come. Do I EXPECT another 300 yard game and Stewart to hit 1000, no. Would I be surprised to see it, not really.

I agree that it is possible but also doubtful. I can't get over how similar these guys are. If they didn't have different numbers it would really be hard to tell them apart when they are running the ball. Both run with power, have shiftiness and good speed when they break into the open. That must be really hard on the defense when they just keep pounding over and over.

What really amazes me is the fact that Foster kept getting the bulk of the carries last year. Did the coaches not see that DWill had what it takes to get the job done? Foster! What were we thinking?!

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
