Fred Taylor will rush for 1300 yards this year book it
In 2008, as a team the Pats averaged 4.4 ypc. In teh sam eyear, Taylor averaged 3.9ypc. Lets say he averages the difference at 4.2 ypc. That would mean in order to rack up 1300 yds, Taylor would need to accrue 309 carries.
Certainly I'd love to see Taylor put up a monster year, but based on their offensive philosophy (barring a current RB hitting the IR list) by implementing a RB-by-comittee approach, IMO I dont see him putting up 1300 yds. You have Morris & Maroney getting 100+ each and Faulk his 40-60 carries. Plus hes 33. BB wants him with fresh legs and running hard in December. Why burn him out?
