Lions | Martz views K. Jones as 30-carry back
Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:38:01 -0800

Steve Pate, of The Daily Oakland Press, reports Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz views RB Kevin Jones as a 30-carry back. Martz said Jones is the type of explosive player "you can hang your hat on." Martz said, "When you want a guy who can carry the mail, so to speak, and can do that 35 times a game, he can do that. Or he can turn around the next week and carry it five times and catch 10 passes. He has that type of versatility; we just need to shine it up a little bit."

lol

He means 30 carries for all of next season, right?

Why do I get the feeling Martz is much more excited about the "can carry it 5 times and catch 10 passes"? Seriously, Martz run a back 35 times a game? That's rich.
