How do you...

...go back to Faulk after a performance like that of Jackson's against one of the best run defenses in the league.

Are the Whiners one of the top rushing defenses?

**AvengerRam** · -12-05-2004

Coming into the game, they were tied for 6th in the NFL allowing 3.7 yards per carry, so Jackson's 4.6 yards per carry on 26 carries (not to mention 3 receptions for 30 yards) is pretty good.

**Nick** · -12-05-2004

Ah, well that is pretty impressive then. I was looking at average yards allowed per game, and they were middle of the pack. But to get nearly a yard per carry above their average is pretty good.

**AvengerRam** · -12-05-2004

On the year...

100 carries
496 yards

He's ready to be "the man" in the Ram backfield.

Good question RamWraith, but I still like having the option of having both running backs on the field at the same time. It opens up lots of options.

Jackson has proved that he can carry a bigger piece of the running game today. Some nice moves and power.

***RamWraith*** · -12-05-2004

agree Utter. I would like to see Faulk a third down back and/or in the slot for more plays with Jackson in the backfield.

Jackson starts, Faulk becomes another option at third receiver when healthy.

Jackson's the man, let's keep it that way.

RamWraith ,i usually tend to agree with you but,on this one i must admit that i cannot! Don't the ***** have a soft schedule?i'm going to do some research on this matter! On paper the Rams passing attack is pretty much unstoppable wouldn't you say?
Sometimes stats are a bit misleading!
