Amazing Stat - 19 different Patriots have scored a TD (merged)

[DaBruinz]

I was blown away when I read this by Reiss.
http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/

Brady, Cassel, Moss, Welker, Stallworth, Gaffney, K. Brady, Watson, Faulk, Maroney, Morris, Evans, Eckel, Gay, Hobbs, Vrabel, Andrews, Colvin, Thomas.

I think that the only players on offense, other than the linemen, who haven't gotten a TD are Marcellus Rivers, David Thomas, Kelley Washington and Chad Jackson. I can't fault Thomas and Jackson because they've played so few games.


I'd like to know what the record is for number of different players to score a TD on any given team.

You must have missed it, but Reiss included it in that paragraph:

The NFL record for most players scoring a touchdown in a single season is 21, achieved by the 2000 Denver Broncos and the 1987 Los Angeles Rams.

Re: Amazing Stat - 19 different Patriots have scored a TD

I think Dave Thomas is on IR so he is obviously not going to join that list. Washington and Jackson will eventually get on there I would think and possibly one new guy from the defense on a turnover so I would expect this team to break that record. Oh probably Asante on a pick 6.

Re: Amazing Stat - 19 different Patriots have scored a TD

Hey just another record to break. Only need 2 to tie and 3 to pass.

Re: Amazing Stat - 19 different Patriots have scored a TD

Throw TD's to Troy Brown, Chad Jackson, and Kelley Washington, and it's all set. Or maybe have Junior Seau catch one Mike Vrabel-style.

Did Cassell run one in somewhere or is that counting passing TDs?

REDSKINS. RAN ONE IN FROM ABOUT 15 OUT.

Missed that, thanks for clearing it up. Crazy that you're backup QB is throwing out 15 yard TD scampers.

Re: Amazing Stat - 19 different Patriots have scored a TD

While I could see Washington and/or Jackson get one when we're just playing them to see what they got, I think it's much more likely that those new scores are coming from the defense and STers.

I can't find the specific Reiss post with the list right now.

Reiss is saying 19 Patriots have scored and the record is 21. Who else needs a TD?

I haven't yet. But probably could with this team.

Passing TDs aren't counted as the player scoring a TD. You could have answered your own question, nimrod, just by going to ESPN and looking at the stats page for the Pats.

Cassel ran one in.

Re: Who hasn't scored a TD?

Kelley Washington hasn't scored yet, but most of his time is on special teams. Now that Chad Jackson is active, he can be put on the list as well.

All of our RBs have scored either on the ground or through the air to my knowledge.

I mentioned this last night. Beyond the O-linemen, here is the list of Offensive players who haven't scored.

Marcellus Rivers (no longer with the team)
David Thomas (Can't because he's on IR)
Troy Brown (just started practicing)
Chad Jackson (only played in his 1st game last night)
Kelley Washington

Junior Seau (comes in as a FB in the "Elephant" Package)

Junior Seau and Ryan O'Callaghan out of the jumbo goal-line package!

Looks like David Thomas (injured) and Matt Guttierrez.

That's right, I did see the Chad Jackson in there last night. Gotsta get him on board.

Re: Who hasn't scored a TD?

And, just for the heck of it, the list of players who have scored:

Randy Moss (16 pass)
Wes Welker (7 pass)
Benjamin Watson (6 pass)
Sammy Morris (3 rush)
Donte' Stallworth (3 pass)
Kyle Brady* (2 pass)
Tom Brady (2 rush)
Kyle Eckel (2 rush)
Ellis Hobbs (1 KO return, 1 fumble return)
Mike Vrabel (2 pass)
Willie Andrews (1 KO return)
Matt Cassel (1 rush)
Rosevelt Colvin (1 fumble return)
Heath Evans (1 rush)
Kevin Faulk (1 pass)
Jabar Gaffney (1 pass)
Randall Gay (1 fumble return)
Laurence Maroney (1 rush)
Adalius Thomas (1 INT return)


*Random thought . . . is Kyle Brady the result when you combine Tom Brady and Kyle Eckel?

Re: Who hasn't scored a TD?

2 more could come from the D. Maybe a Bruschi INT and a Harrison fumble recovery?
