Zero, nada, zilch, doughnut holes, toilet bowls, thin air and the middle of Cheerios.
Kind of surprised that one the league's best running games from last year can't punch in a run for a score after four games.
More than surprised that the Bills did not run the ball more against the Texans. The Bills had the lead, not like they were playing from behind and had to throw, but still chose to put the game in EJ Manuel's hands 44 times.
That's a head scratching statistic.
Instead of throwing to Fred Jackson and getting picked off, the Bills could have ran the ball and probably win the game without Watt's huge momentum shifting, game changing play.
Did Marrone and Hackett intentionally expose EJ Manuel by not running the ball when they should have against the Texans?
Back to the subject...
Production is good, but without touchdowns who cares?
http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/10195/fred-jackson
32 runs, 152 yards, 4.8 yards per carry average, 0 rushing TD's.
Jackson has 19 receptions for 170 yards and 1 TD.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/13203/cj-spiller
52 runs, 207 yards, 4.0 yards per carry average, 0 rushing TD's.
Spiller has 10 receptions for 81 yards and 1 TD.
---------------------------------------------
Fred Jackson is clearly the more productive running back after 4 games even though his rushing attempts compared to Spiller is 38% Jackson, 62% Spiller.
The only reason why Jackson's not taking the majority of the carries is because of his age. If he had 62% of the carries, I think Freddy would have a rushing TD by now.
The first quarter of the season is over.
If Spiller lays another rushing egg in the next 4 games, I think it's time to give Boobie Dixon the rock.
I hate to say it, but CJ Spiller has been a huge disappointment and another first round bust of a pick by Buddy The Bills Slayer Nix.
