While none of them reached that ideal 1000 yard metric, they did do well if you compare their combined workload to a typical workhorse RB.
For reference, those three combined were near identical to what Le'Veon Bell put up (1291 + 655 = 1946) on 943 offensive snaps.
Good stuff Ocho, i don't want us giving Mixon that many snaps and wasting him anyways the way the Steelers
have with Bell. They still have failed to come up with another contract to his liking too for heck sake. Could be
Conner is their next Bellcow.
Who knows how the diva show in Pitt ends up...

True, true as usual Sunset.

We'll know pretty soon though -- if the RBs are getting more YPC we'll know it is legit. And that could be huge not just for the offense but the defense as well (time of possession).
I believe the Left side of the Line right now - Glenn - Boling - Price should be good but if teams just know that and
stack to that side it could hurt us. We will need two of Westerman, Fisher, Redmond, Perkins, Taylor, Hart or Hopkins
to show up and play decent to really make us menacing.
