Not bad considering Murray didn't play that much at the first of the season and AD has missed a few weeks due to injury...and teams key in on him.

soonercastor, some people feel the pun is the lowest form of humor.

I am NOT one of them!

Gave me an early morning laugh.

It's ridiculous that the best RB in the NFL only has 186 carries compared the MJDs 250 at this point. Way underutilized IMO. And Jacksonville only has one more win that Minn., so it's pretty comparable situations so to speak... there is no reason that AD shouldn't get 25 carries every game, no matter their record or style of play.

[KantoSooner]

DeMarco is not doing too bad in the yards per carry category, either.

[swardboy]

I read where AD's coach, commenting on the 20-some carries that Tebow had Sunday, said he wished he could give AD that many touches in a game........WELL DUH!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

HAHA....

[NormanPride]

How the hell can the coach not dictate how many touches his RB gets...?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Do coaches just automatically get stupid when they go to the Vikings?

Everything gets stupid when it goes to Minny. It breaks my heart seeing AD waste his prime years in that ****hole of a wannabe NFL city. No offense Sir Richard o'da north.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

They do throw nice boat parties though.

In quite a few games they've been trying to come back from a big deficit. That does dictate the play calling.

However, in the first couple of games where they had big leads at half, they almost forgot about AD which seems really stupid.
