Who are the hardest -- and easiest -- running backs to bring down?

[Denver Native (Carol)]

from article:


Using ESPN Stats & Information's charting, below is a look at the top five and bottom five running backs in average yards after contact in 2015.

Five best

C.J. Anderson: It appeared for a moment that he would be headed to Miami this offseason, but Anderson is back with the Denver Broncos; he averaged 2.22 yards after contact and 4.74 YPC last season. He got off to a slow start, but the Broncos are counting on Anderson to be the guy who heated up in the second half of last season. From Week 7 on, he averaged a league-best 6.35 YPC and 2.78 yards after contact (third).

I was going to do this but I was too lazy.

[BroncoWave]

You guys are far too easy to rile up! :lol:

[Slick]

Ain't nobody riled up.

That Hillman thread was some of my finest work. I still have people talking about it. :D

One of the biggest things I noticed in rewatching the SB (other than what a great game Stewart played; shame a STUPID penalty cost him a sack) was how much CJ tore up a Top 10 D. Not every touch, but it was the kind of steady and sometimes flashy performance we've needed for a while to take pressure off our QB with a multi-dimensional offense. One reason I really hope Dennison's finally fixed our awful line is that I REALLY want to see what CJ will do if he has.

People still make Oscar-winning movies about the Titanic, too; doubt the shipwright takes any pride in that though.

I think you underestimate how much of what I post is geared toward getting a reaction out of people like you. I was particularly proud of that thread. :D

Gotta catch him first.

nah, i understand that quite well-- your M.O. has never been any secret at all. . . you will go out of your way to find a disagreement with someone, even if it means defending a ridiculous position tooth and nail. . .

WHY you find that amusing is the part that no one can figure out. . . WHAT you're doing is as painfully obvious as it is annoying. . .

wow! I didn't realise CJ was that kind of dominant over that stretch. Need to look up his #of carries

I'm still glad he scored it. No use in going all the way to Denver to see a loss.
