Haha
Just tried to find a breakdown of our 3rd down percentage to see who was the main man.y thoughts was it would be a evan split between Graham, Sproles and Moore over the last 2-3 years. The link I found may have been a little dated though

rushing yards amassed by second-year tailback*Deuce McAllister. And special teams ace*Michael Lewis*wasn't at all shy about acknowledging his significance in dictating field position with his production on the runback units and his tackles on kick coverage.

I don't have the energy to hit a moving target today.

You are very comical, yes, to your question, even if he didn't carry the ball
simply cause defense coordinators had to make plans or run scenarios for the position he played. If you on the field then you must be accounted for and if he was on the field 124 times then 124 times he had to be accounted for... Now, for trying to persuade you, I see you can't be persuaded, so I am gonna just say lets agree to disagree that Sproles would've made a difference from 0-2 to 1-1 or 2-0

Read my Thread on offense vs defense and read Rob Ryan's words as he agrees. It is his defense.

I used to defend an unpopular New Orleans QB with this same argument.
