2007 20 20 10 23 25
2008 13 14 20 8 26
2009 21 22 2 22 30
yep he was average 11.8th in the league of 32.
but he was also 8.5 in FG kicked.
so maybe he relied on FG more than he did on TDs and on rushing TD's he was 12.1
just a side note
TD had the following yards

Jason Elam
0-19 20-29 30-39
Career 4-4 150-156 132-147
Jason missed only 21 FG inside 40 yards for his career. and he did indeed allow mike to not worry so much about red zone. scoring as he was deadly.
Your correct but you only told part of the story
BTW he was here 10years after John retired...
