10-25 carries

[keithjackson]

what are we asking travis minor to do?
if we are asking him to carry the ball 10-25 times a game-
ricky wasnt godly last year in that area:

car/yds ypc
hou 17/69 4.1
@ny 22/39 1.8
@ny 23/69 3.0
jax 19/75 3.9
ind 13/36 2.8
@ten 13/37 2.8
was 23/107 4.7
@ne 25/68 2.7
phi 18/107 5.9
ny 20/73 3.7

what travis did in those same games:

hou 1/3 3.0
@ny 5/27 5.4
@ny 0/0 0.0
jax 1/11 11.0
ind 1/11 11.0
@ten 3/22 7.3
was 3/20 6.7
@ne 0/0 0.0
phi 5/24 4.8
ny 1/0 0.0

JUST FOR FUN, if travis had as many carries as ricky, he projects:

hou 17/3 3.0
@ny 22/119 5.4
@ten 13/95 7.3
was 23/154 6.7
phi 18/86.4 4.8

gleam from this whatever you want.

who knows how relevant this is, but maybe these games are from where we can grow our most realistic expectations for this year.

we need to throw the ball this year,
even if its just a year's worth of practice throwing the ball for aj and the new oline and dbo until next year.

but i have faith in travis to make us competitive.
and if we only ask him to cary the ball 10-25 times a game,
i think he can match these numbers.
then again, we only went 5-4 in these games.

I have SOME faith in Travis, but am not sold. If they still have an opportunity to get a guy like Davenport for no more then a 3rd round pick, im all for it. But to awnser your question, this isnt very relevent at all. When Minor was in, no one paid much attention, and most of his stats are from being a situational runner. How hell do as a starter we can only speculate.

I always thought Minor looked like a pretty good back his rookie year and showed starting potential. He won't be a superstar but he is no slouch. You can't ride him too much thoigh since he is undersized.

While Minor is going into camp as the number one, I think the final result will be Leonard Henry on downs one and two, Minor on third, and Morris in short yardage. I also expect Konrad to get ten touches a game this coming year.

Hopefully Minor backs up one of my fav sayings (as a Cane's fan) "Travis Minor only good FSU player......ever!!" :D
