Default Will BJGE become the Patriots first 1,000 yard rusher in 6 years?

Current: 568 yards / 4.3 Avg / 7 TDs

He needs to average 72 YPG to get to the thousand yard mark.

Already sensing worthless "WHO CARES WHAT HE GETS I JUST WANT TO WIN" posts. Of course we just want to win, but it's just a topic for discussion. The last Patriots RB to get 1,000+ yards in a season was Corey Dillon on the '04 Super Bowl team.

I say no, ending up somewhere in the 8-900's.

I think not. Probably 5-6 games this season have happened or will happen where he can't get anything.

Everything is subject to the game plan, including BJGE's touches. I think his average stays solid/respectable, but the scheme will keep him from being a 1,000 yard rusher.

Probably not if he stays near his average. He would need 17 carries a game to get there, and he has been averaging 13 a game.

It's going to be tough but man I'd love to see it. Always awesome when the unknown player comes out of nowhere and makes it big.

BJGE will need big rushing games against the Detroit Lions and the Buffalo Bills.

WHO CARES WHAT HE GETS PETE I JUST WANT TO WIN

j/k j/k

I'll be rooting for this, and i think he can. But I predict he finishes somewhere in the 800's. I see Taylor suiting up pretty soon and cutting into his carries.

Looking at the schedule and the run Ds based on yards allowed per rush.

DET-27th -4.6ypc
NYJ- 2nd -3.5ypc
CHI- 2nd -3.5ypc
GB- 26th -4.5ypc
MIA 8th -3.9ypc
BUF-29th -4.7ypc

So seems to be feast or famine but BJGE did have some good numbers vs Pitt and they are ranked #1.

I say he has a couple 100 yd games but finishes around 900 for the year- which is very respectable.

No way....Fred is coming back and will assume the lead role

If Fred is injured more after he comes back I still think it won't happen,Woodhead will be a factor

I think those are realistic and sensible answers.
