Bennett: Herm wants 580 carries this season - Page 9

**dirk digler** · 08-30-2006, 11:15 AM

Micheal Bennett was on 810 this morning and said that Herm told him they are targeting 580 carries for the season for the team.

I am not very good at math but that is 36.25 carries per game. Poor LJ he may not last to see his next contract.

Remember in 97 when everyone thought the D wouldn't be that good with young safties back there and we dominated.

I am kind of torn on the issue. If we run LJ 400+ times and win a SB for Green, Shields, Gonzo then I will be a happy mother****er.

But LJ is one of my favorite players and I hope he doesn't end up like Holmes.

He is a little bigger than Holmes.

How long did he last?

Walter Payton's highest total carries for a season was 381, and only had one other season in which he carried the ball over 350 times.

In every other season, he carried the ball 339 times or fewer.

Fine then, thanks for checking all the stats. Lets try to keep him to 320 carries then.

On a side note, it seemed as if Walter carried the rock exclusively back in the day, as in, the Bears couldn't do anything else.

Herm's and IDIOT for babbling on and on about running the ball all the time and an even bigger idiot for targeting a yearly carries total. Here you've got a very balanced offense, proficient in both, run and pass. Use what you need to use in game situations in order to win those games and SHUT THE **** UP.

Remember MORON, the "last time you checked" we had a pretty good offense.

LOL I told Parker I thought Herm wanted 610 carries this year and he thought I was nuts. Looks like I was pretty darn close.

I agree with this. The feeling I get is one major way to fix this team is to change the strategy of the O. WTF? FIX THE D!!!! If you want to change the strategy of the O, fine, some of his points make sence but come on! Give us a soundbite that the O is a proven positive and we are mostly focused on fixing the D.

Every time I hear him speak it's almost like he's blaming the offense for the teams failures. I get a gut feeling that I'm going to wish Herm would fall into a iron smelt by game 5. Let Trent run the O and keep your ass out of it Herm.

I hope Herm reads the Planet.
