Fred Jackson: LeSean McCoy 'to get 300-plus carries'
We possess yet more proof that LeSean McCoy is a favorite to lead the NFL in carries next season.
Speaking Tuesday, fellow Bills running back Fred Jackson said Buffalo is looking to match or surpass the 313 rushes that McCoy averaged over the past two seasons in Philly.
"I don't know exactly what my role is going to be," Jackson told WGR-AM. "They say that they want Shady to get 300-plus carries next year. So that's a guy you're feeding the ball all the time. So I'll be ready when my number is called."
It's no secret that coach Rex Ryan wants to make McCoy his centerpiece on offense after running backs aide Anthony Lynn said as much last month.
"I talk to the guys all the time about Curtis Martin. This guy led the league in rushing his ninth year," Lynn said, per The Buffalo News. "I'd love to see (McCoy) get that many rushes. If he's getting that many touches, that means that we're winning ball games"...
I fully support that. Run Shady until his legs fall off.
