There have been a couple of his runs that have been really fun to watch. He gets hit by one guy.... then another... then another and another and another but keeps driving his legs for 5+ more yards.

For a "Tall Bus" he sure runs with good pad level.

My jaw dropped when I saw his YPC. I'd like to see what he can do with 15 carries in a game.

Just a wild guess, but I'm thinking somewhere around 72 yards?

The guy is a fullback who has shared time with one or two other fullbacks in each game. If he had 15 plays a game he would probably collapse from exhaustion!

72 yards X 16 games = 1152 yards a season.


2009 Ryan Grant: 282 carries = 17.6/game

17.65 X 4.4 ave yards per carry = 77.5 yards a game = 1240 yards a season.

Actually being more precise Grant got 1253 yards last season.




Just something to think about for those clamoring for Ted Thompson to make a trade.

There certainly is something to be said for running an athletic 250 pound fullback behind Wells and Sitton, your two best run blockers. I'd like to see him get the ball a bit more, but 15 carries might be too much. I also wonder if you'll see it much against Detroit this week. The strength of the Lions defense is the interior of their defensive line. Suh will be hard to move.

You have to be kidding... Has the guy even broken a 10 yard run yet? Short yardage back I'm fine with. Everyday back not so much.

[Joemailman]

Actually, his 18 yard run the other night is tied for the longest on the team this year. I agree he's not an every down back, but he's capable of more than 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

I think he's better than some think. Ignore the fact that he's white and played FB until this year, he's looked pretty good running the ball. He's mostly a run up the middle guy, but I'd have no problem giving him 10-15 carries/game. I'm more disappointed in Jackson than this guy. Jackson is good on third downs though.

Jackson is a good 3rd down back. Why screw with that?

I think that's why we saw Kuhn starting the game at RB. I think he's our number 1 right now.

Kuhn reminds me of Mike Alstott. He's a beast to bring down, and perfect for short yardage situations. 10 carries a game for Kuhn would be perfect.

You guys have to be kidding me.......Kuhn?
