[Hammock Parties]

Charles needs more carries.

[Sofa King]

Boy that'd be sweet, especially if it comes with 2 more wins.

[Bane]

Doesn't matter because JC is too small and not talented enough etc... /CP TROLLS,fake ass fans,fucktards,and dumb asses.

you just eliminated all of CP....

[ArrowheadHawk]

Cool.

[unothadeal]

Am I missing something? Aren't Jamaaaaaaal's numbers wrong?

[Pants]

Wait, where's the amazing and durable RB who goes by the name Darren McFadden on that list? We were told by all the Raider trolls that Charles is a situational back and will never be a real RB like DMC.

[AndChiefs]

Am I missing something? Aren't Jamaaaaaaal's numbers wrong?

They are...the average yards/rush does not match the total yards listed.

[Dayze]

you just eliminated all of CP....

ROFL

[unothadeal]

He has 1303 with a 6.4 YPC

[Hammock Parties]

I'd bet anything Houston takes Jones-Drew out of that game by getting a big lead early.

I bet this comes down to Charles and Foster.

Either way the Jags, Texans and Chiefs all play at noon on the final Sunday so it's gonna be fun tracking the top 3 rushers simultaneously.

Foster has a bum ankle, too, so that works in Charlie's favor.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Am I missing something? Aren't Jamaaaaaaal's numbers wrong?

Yes, he's listed them incorrectly.

Should be 203/1303

[Pants]

They are...the average yards/rush does not match the total yards listed.

Weird. (http://www.nfl.com/stats/player)

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Charles needs more carries.

If he had 277 carries like Foster he'd have 1717 yards

If he had 299 like Drew he'd have 1853 yards

He'd be blowin the league away.

[Hydrae]

They are...the average yards/rush does not match the total yards listed.

The rest of these numbers look fine but for Jamaal the average should be 6.5

[Dante84]

Ahh shit I meant to type 1303. The 1321 was a typo because jamaal is 21 yards behind MJD.

I will fix as soon as I can.

[ReynardMuldrake]

I would rather see Charles get the record for YPC. Much harder record to break, IMO.

[Halfcan]

I am really hoping Charles gets it=he is a class act!

We'll see this weekend, but should SD lose Sunday, there's a good chance Charles doesn't see the field in week 17.

[LaChapelle]

Down 40 yards with 1/3 less carries
he's hands down the better player

[redgoldexpress]

Foster out this week?

Arian Foster | Texans
TopEmailShare

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster was knocked out of the team's Week 15 loss to the Tennessee Titans in the fourth quarter with ankle and hip injuries, ending the fantasy football title hopes of many after a lackluster afternoon.

But Foster's injuries appear to be minor, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, and he's expected to be able to play in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos.

However, maybe that pickup of Derrick Ward you've been considering for your fantasy team wouldn't be the worst idea, just for peace of mind:

[007]

Damn, JC made up some serious ground this week. Hope he pulls it off.

[cdcox]

Don't care as long as the Chiefs get two wins.

[Priest31kc]

We'll see this weekend, but should SD lose Sunday, there's a good chance Charles doesn't see the field in week 17.

Agreed, and I hope we do sit him, or atleast limit him..

Report: Jones-Drew won’t play, barring a miracle

Posted by Mike Florio on December 24, 2010, 2:39 PM EST

Only 21 yards behind Texans running back Arian Foster for the NFL rushing lead, Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew won’t get a chance to overtake Foster on Sunday.

Unless Foster loses 21 yards or more against the Broncos.

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that, barring a miracle, Jones-Drew won’t play when the Jaguars host the Redskins on Sunday.

Glazer says that Jones-Drew’s knee remains swollen.

That sound you hear is a mad rush by the folks still playing fantasy football to add Rashad Jennings to their playoff rosters.

[Dante84]

MOVING ON UPPPPPPP

[Hammock Parties]

Just heard that Andre Johnson could miss the Texans' game.

Might make life a little harder for Foster.

I hope so... that plus his glute being banged up...

JC may just be in first after this weekend.

This...

These awards are cool as hell when your team sucks penis like GoChiefs...

But right now this TEAM needs to win 2 more games... Screw anything else. TEAM effort and TEAM wins is all I care about now.

No one said anything about them being mutually exclusive. I'd obviously prefer we make the playoffs more than he get the rushing title. But of course I'm rooting for both to happen.

[LiL stumppy]

you just eliminated all of CP....

Which one are you :hmmm:

[cdcox]

No one said anything about them being mutually exclusive. I'd obviously prefer we make the playoffs more than he get the rushing title. But of course I'm rooting for both to happen.

Here's how I see it.

"The operation was successful in curing you of cancer! And while you were under, we trimmed your toenails."

"You've just won a million dollars! And we are giving you a set of steak knives too."

"The Chiefs won their last two games and will host a playoff game! And in the process Jamal Charles won the rushing title."

I see; this is the clearest point made yet.

Here's how I see it.

"I get to go to Disney world for free! And I don't have to wait in any lines!"

"I got to bone Natalie Portman! And she swallowed!"

"CP got a new server! And it works!"

[Dante84]

Game day biznump.

[teedubya]

"I get a free trip to Vegas and while I am there the Adult Video Awards are going on with lots of pornstars in town!?!"

[Phobia]

I remember how much personal satisfaction I had when Priest Holmes won a rushing title and set records for most TD's in a season. Wow, what a great time that was for me. I just love his trophy. I think about that often. I got a t-shirt commemorating the event.

[michaelj_58]

if charles had a lot of carries he would be more dinged up!the chiefs planned this as soon as they got jones.excellant job!GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Consistent1]

See now, I never wear the shirt much. The coffee cup and beer glass get used a lot though. All kidding aside, I hope Charles gets it along with winning out if only for the reason of all the whiners griping about carries. Of course it will still be Charles should have had 2200+ on this site, but hey.

[tmax63]

I hope JC gets the lead for the title and TJ gets half way or more to his 1000 this weekend. That means the Chiefs (in most simulations) have kicked the Titans.

[TheGuardian]

Wait, where's the amazing and durable RB who goes by the name Darren McFadden on that list? We were told by all the Raider trolls that Charles is a situational back and will never be a real RB like DMC.

I'm glad you brought this up. Because I've said all along that McFadden is a fraud of a back. And his numbers are inflated because of his big runs.

So I decided to see just how much.

If you take away McFaddens single big run per game it adds up to taking away 356 yards. That leaves him with 756 yards for the season rushing on what would be 200 carries.

3.78 yards per carry.

If you take away Charles big runs that's 374 yards. That leaves 929 yards on 189 carries. That's still 4.9 per carry.

Like I said all along, McFraud couldn't carry Charles' jock with a bulldozer.

[UTChief]

I don't think he will get the rushing title so I hope TJ gets to 1,000

[Hammock Parties]

Charles is OFFICIALLY ahead of Arian Foster as of right now.

Charles 1368
Foster 1345
Jones-Drew 1324

[Bane]

JC should have about 1800 yards right now.

[KChiefs1]

What is Foster's status today?

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

If Haley doesn't let Charles go for the rushing title, he's going to lose the team.

[Hammock Parties]

Foster is back in first place already. 7 carries, 47 yards.

[KingPriest2]

If Haley doesn't let Charles go for the rushing title, he's going to lose the team.

I guess he lost this team HEY folks no playsoffs Lemon s word

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

I guess he lost this team HEY folks no playsoffs Lemon s word

lol

[Reerun_KC]

JC should have about 1800 yards right now.

What would you rather have? 1800 yards and 3-5 less wins? Or a 2010 AFCW Championship and a fresh back going into the playoffs?

I would rather have the latter, but some fans are more interested in individual stats than the team winning...

[Hammock Parties]

Foster 1436
Charles 1380

[SAUTO]

Foster 1436
Charles 1380

I'm sure charles us ok with the afcw title....

Updated for week 17.

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

MJD may not be playing this weekend (injured knee). So, that likely eliminates that threat to Jamaal

[Dante84]

JC will get no more than 5-10 carries for the entire game at the most, in all likelihood.

If he can break a good one, say 20+, that might be enough to break Jim Brown's record. Surely the coaches are taking this into account, even if they choose to act on it or not.

Right now, he's actually at 6.38, so every play matters since it appears that they round. He has a .3 window, essentially.

[Rain Man]

Why is Drew the starter on the pro bowl team when he has fewer yards than Jamaal and a lower ypc?

[Dante84]

TD's and more fan votes probably

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Have you not watched ESPN or NFL Network?

All they do is go on ad infinitum about "Pocket Hercules". He's the new Mike Petersen.

Arian Foster, Jamaal Charles gunning for rushing title

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 31, 2010, 9:37 AM EST

Week 17 is about finalizing playoff spots. For some teams, it’s also about aiming for individual goals.

This year, the Texans and Chiefs are hoping to help their lead backs earn a rushing title. Texans running back Arian Foster has 1,436 yards, leading the Chiefs’ Jamaal Charles by 56 yards.

“I think it’s important to the team,” said Texans coach Gary Kubiak. “I think it’s important to the offense. Not me personally, but I think it’s something that’s hard to get in this league.”

As awesome as Foster has been, Charles has turned in the more impressive season. His 6.4 yards-per-carry average is almost unheard of. No one has come close to a mark like that since Jim Brown. Charles has thrown in 455 receiving yards.

“I might play a lot this week and I’m still trying to get the rushing title,” Charles told the team’s website.

Kansas City has been careful not to overwork Charles all year. With no bye week coming up, it seems unlikely they would go crazy to go after a stat title. Charles plays early in the day, so Foster will know how many yards he needs to get when he suits up in the late afternoon.


http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/12/31/arian-foster-jamaal-charles-gunning-for-rushing-title/

[KChiefs1]

Foster will win the title because Houston has nothing else to play for....

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Foster will win the title because Houston has nothing else to play for....

And if we get some kind of lead Charles will be sitting the 2nd half.

[philfree]

Charles is only 165 yards away from breaking 2,000 combined yards.

Right now he has 1,855 yards on 259 touches. Over 7 yards a touch for a RB.


PhilFree:arrow:

[Hammock Parties]

Charles needs 57 yards to overtake Foster. Then it's up to the Jags.

[Hammock Parties]

Charles ahead by 14 yards.

[Dante84]

Also, his big run helped his YPC NFL Record chase as well.

[Hammock Parties]

Also, his big run helped his YPC NFL Record chase as well.

6.5 YPC

[Dante84]

there ya go. Technically he can dip to 6.45 to get the "6.5," so we're walking a tight rope here.

[Buck]

Doesn't look good since you guys are down, they stopped running.

[Dante84]

FUCK. We keep bogging down JC's YPC. Just get him out of the game.

[milkshock]

whats the ypc now?

[Hammock Parties]

No record for Jamaal.

6.378 YPC

[Dante84]

No record for Jamaal.

6.378 YPC

So, its "6.4" and he ties Jim Brown's record.

[Hammock Parties]

So, its "6.4" and he ties Jim Brown's record.

No.

It'll go down as 6.38.

Brown averaged exactly 6.4.

[ArrowheadHawk]

For some reason the Raiders are just built to give our running game fits.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

FOSTER is killing it now

[unothadeal]

56 yard run by Foster ROFL

[Dante84]

Welp, there that went.

[orange]

Welp, there that went.

Hey, there's still the battle for second place.

[Dante84]

Hey, there's still the battle for second place.

Your avatar is ugly.

[007]

No.

It'll go down as 6.38.

Brown averaged exactly 6.4.fuck. I was pissed at Haley for continuing to run him for 1 yard.

[KChiefs1]

No record for Jamaal.

6.378 YPC

Charles had one carry too many....
Jamaal Charles had a chance at history Sunday by finishing an averaging more yards per carry than any back in NFL history.

Charles has the record secured until his last, meaningless carry.

The record, held by Browns great Jim Brown is an average of 6.4 yards per carry. Had Charles stopped at 229 carries (well after the game was decided) he would have finished the season averaging 6.41 yards per carry. Unfortunately for Charles, his last carry of the day went for -1 yard, knocking his average down to 6.378 yards per carry.

If your day wasn’t already depressing enough, I felt obligated to let you know how close Charles came.It especially stings because Charles got 3 carries on KC’s last drive playing their starters when the game was already pretty much lost.

Still, congratulations on Jamaal for one heck of a season. He has a very bright career ahead of him.

[Hammock Parties]

Fuck you, Herm.

[Bob Dole]

Hey, there's still the battle for second place.

Isn't that Denver's latest team slogan?

[orange]

Isn't that Denver's latest team slogan?

Recently, yes, but it beats the Chiefs perennial "Let's get to the Playoffloss!"

[Dante84]

Recently, yes, but it beats the Chiefs perennial "Let's get to the Playoffloss!"

Does it, though?

[Sannyasi]

Recently, yes, but it beats the Chiefs perennial "Let's get to the Playoffloss!"

Well at least we know the Broncos won't have to worry about any playoff losses in the foreseeable future.

[1ChiefsDan]

Isn't that Denver's latest team slogan?Well, not recent. They never sniffed 2nd place this season.
