Quote:In 2007 Taylor had about 30% more carries than MJD and 56% more yards.

 

Taylor was the feature back from my recollection, but if you have some stats to show that MJD was getting more carries than him in one of the other seasons with Taylor healthy I wouldn't have a problem admitting you're right.

 

I just said in some games, not overall throughout the years they were together, MJD had more carries for more yards.

 

MJD was a great up-the-middle runner and Taylor ran outside. It was a complementary approach. Buffalo's running backs are doing the same thing we did with ours.

 

Another reason I like committees: When Taylor was our only feature back, he was getting hurt all the time. While splitting with MJD he was able to play all 16 games. That cannot be a coincidence. The less time you are on the field, the less likely it is you will get hurt.
