Rob Lowder is a moron. He is literally including kick return yardage to boost these averages. How stupid can a person be? What an asinine statistic.

Is that true?

Yes, the statistic didn't pass the smell test (I knew McKinnon averaged like 3.8 YPR last season) so I did some quick research:

Rushing:
150 carries, 570 yards (3.8 YPA)

Receiving:
51 receptions, 421 yards (8.3 YPA)

Kick returns:
12 returns, 312 yards (12.0 Y/R)

Rushing + receiving:
201 touches, 991 yards (4.9 yards/touch)

Rushing + receiving + kick returns:
213 touches, 1303 yards (6.12 yards/touch)

Lies, damned lies and statistics.

Was about to type this.

Not a fan of signing unless he learns to follow his blocks and stop running horizontal

ZBS is all about running horizontal.

Except you still need to know how to read blocks, which is Mackinnons biggest weakness

How do you know, did he play the ZBS in his previous team?

Yes, with Vikings. They changed to Zone to suit Cook

Murray and McKinnon had similar numbers on the ground and it looks like Cook came in as relief. Point is there wasn't much of a drop off from Murray to McKinnon in the run game, if they were running the ZBS. Now Alex Boone running the ZBS in Minnesota is Bass-Ackwards to me and bringing in Pat Shurmer but retaining mr. Power run Tony Sparano to coach the O-Line is another Bass-Ackwards move in my opinion. Why shift to the ZBS and use a Power run coach - to teach it? I think Kyle can see a good back that can fit his system and was misused in Minessota, and saw a chance and got him. I'm liking this move more and more.

i believe it, we'll have the OL for it, have the QB for it (kap's stupid throwing motion didn't help), and we have the rbs for it

Did this apply when Donahue and Baalke were GM's or is this just a recent development?


Its perfectly fine to not completely be on board with every single decision a team makes.

f**k those stats. Erryone knows JimmyG elevates those around him! 2,000+ yds from scrimmage easy!

It was rediculous to think Gore would ever come back.

I think McKinnon will be a beast on this team.

thank you. you are very in tune with our running back deal. i like him to. i know the team will draft a nice running back or at least assume on day three

LOL if true. Well, he did say " touch."

Touches were factored in for the other RBs also

donnie said nothing wrong. i am still a titch nervous about the line but it got better with our new man so a great start

Everyone has been consistently talking about how deep this draft pool is; but now the sky is falling because we don't have a short-distance, bruising back? IMO, there will be plenty of opportunities to pick up a "traditional" back in the draft.

Dude please don't act knowledgeable when you think Cook came in as relief

Yeah and one of them is already on the team and he costs nothing.

6.12 =/= 6.05 (which is what he tweeted)
