1) 200 carries
2) 300 Carries

4) 755 carries

Dont look it up, but the answers are very interesting.
1.Grogan
2 Maroney
3.Cunnigham
4 Nance



Bonus question.
With a minimum of 75 rushes what player has the lowest career ypc in Pats history.


I thought these were the answers.

Well you got Maroney. Grogan would have been correct if QBs were included, but he also then would have been correct at 300+.
Cunningham suprisingly wasnt too close. Nance was in the ballpark, and I screwed up the last one myself, because I sorted the list by ypc, and didn't look at the 'ties' that actually arent ties.

1.9 --- Tom Brady (276/533) - it's all those 3rd & 1 QB sneaks!

At least Brady only takes -1 on the Victory Formation. O'Connell's so big he ends up at -2.

You'd think this guy would show up somewhere...

Robert Edwards

Yikes. 3.8 YPC. 9.5 yards per reception however. Also had a helluva sophomore slump

his 291 attempts only qualified him for part one of the trivia and Sammy had him by a little under a yard/avg 3.8 compared to 4.6

If you need a trivia fix, there's this thread which eventually ended in a slow and silent death: http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/95/214169-2008-season-trivia.html

Yeah but he didn't make the "big list" either.

I think Plunket should get an extra appreciation for those yards, those are running for your life yards,,,,

And no way would I have thought his average was bigger than Grogan's average
