I just saw this and found this stat pretty interesting. Apparently CJ leads all RB's in ypc after initial contact. You hear a lot of talk about how CJ is just a speed guy, he's not big enough to run between the tackles or gain the extra tough yards and what not, but this stat would suggest otherwise. I really believe that Spiller is a complete all-purpose back. There's really no weakness to his game. Now give him the damn ball!
Spilling over: If there were not enough reasons already to get Buffalo Bills tailback C.J. Spiller the football more, here’s another one: Spiller leads the NFL with 3.9 yards per carry after contact. Spiller has rushed for 226 yards this season after the initial hit, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Spiller is the most dynamic offensive talent the Bills have. Yet he continues to share a lot of carries (too many?) with teammate Fred Jackson. We will continue to monitor how many carries Spiller gets Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
