Is it safe to say Gore is getting 370+ carries? (1 Viewer)

[Maven]

Jimmy Raye and Singletary have came out and said they want to run 60% of the time.

Prepping for my draft tonight...I'm thinking 370 carries is almost a lock for Mr. Gore (no injury). He has no real threat to steal carries. If he can average the 4.3 he did last year (assuming the line is better it might be around 4.5), we're looking at almost 1600 yards rushing folks. You have to put him in that top tier of RBs if thats the case.

Thoughts?

I think Coffee will surely get some carries to give Gore a break during games.

 

[gbill2004]

No I don't think Gore gets anywhere near 370 carries. I could see Coffee getting over 100 easily.

 

[pesh]

Gore will be getting many carries this season, and I think he's going to have a really good year.

 

[Maven]

You all agree he's atleast going over 300 right?

 

[bcr8f]

Maybe touches including catches(I hope).

 

[Jewell]

You all agree he's atleast going over 300 right?

I'll agree with both sentiments. Coffee will dip into Gore's carries, but Gore is still going over 300.And Singletary is smart going with this approach given the Niners starting QB and receivers. Not sure if I'd announce the approach, though.

but he will deal with 8 men in the box every night

but he will deal with 8 men in the box every night

I hesitate to call them "men" in that division...

 

[-baller]

if he stays healthy I'd give him 300-320 carries and a bunch of catches, which is good and all, but I think his biggest knock is more the TD opps than the # of carries.

I am a huge Gore fan, but 370 won't happen. Almost every coach in the league would like to run 60% of the time. Saying it and doing it are two different things. Coffee will get some touches. 300-320 carries with 340-350 touches is possible although I not sure how likely. Gore has the talent to be a top 5 fantasy back with 320 total touches as long as he get the goal line touches which I believe he will.

In a PPR league Gore is a GREAT value at the end of the 1st round. If I start 2 RB's and 2 WR's I grab Gore.....if he slides into the 2nd round like he did in my league you grab him and dance. Guy in my league got D. Williams pick 7 and then Gore was STILL there in the 2nd for him and that's amazing value. I picked at the 4 spot so I had no chance to see him....................Gore will be rock solid this year and is a safe and solid pick after the top 4 or 5 RB's are gone.

To try and maximize his production and to help keep him healthy I wouldn't give him more than 320-330. Amount of carries won't mean squat if he doesn't stay healthy. A few less carries means fresher legs and decent ypc. Singletary should take advantage of having Coffee to spell him. I don't think he's going to face as much 8 in the box as people are expecting. Hill's serviceable and he'll get the ball out to old man Ike and Josh Morgan. They will get the passing game going more this year with the receivers they have. I look for the O-line to playbetter. Oh LOOK, a Crabtree sighting. He needs to get on the field to help draw people away from Gore. THIS is the year that Gore will reach double-digit touchdowns. Singletary WILL wake Vernon Davis up this year too. Vern doesn't feel much like seeing coach's backside again so they'll make efforts to get him the ball on short routes. It'll be up to Davis then to get more yards after his short catches. He's got the body to do it and he better do it this year or they need to cut his ####. I'm not too concerned about Gore's rushing yardage. That'll happen anyway but I strongly believe he'll shake the concerns about his td totals and he'll go over 10. I look for 12-15 total td's from him. People can say what they want about Crabtree but Ithink he'd be a boost to Gore's game just getting him on the field knowing he could bust out at anytime. Crabby can be a big key to Gore's success this year. Pay the dude and start winning some football games. We're not loaded with studs but we have players that produce so I think the offense is gonna surprise a few this year, but we need to get Crabtree on the field. People are down on the Niner's QB's, and rightfully so, but Hill knows it's gonna be his team now and he's gonna go out and do what he needs to to move the offense and score some points.

They're not going to turn into offensive juggernauts but I believe they're not gonna fall flat on their face either. Bruce will still be able to get decent stats even at his age and look for Morgan to step it up as well. Still, the O willbe so much better off getting Crabtree involved so if the Yorks have any love for football and winning games they need to dust their moneybags off and go ahead and pay the guy, make huim happy and let him get on the field and start helping the 49ers to wingames. Geez, it's not rocket science. He's the best receiver out of the draft so pay him like he is. I don't care if he went #10 and they're trying to slot him 10 money. He's gonna play better than being the #10 pick.

 

[BlueDredSo]

My hope is getting the 12th pick tomorrow and getting Gore/A Johnson at the turn. Not quite PPR, but almost (1 pt for 3 rec, 2 pt for 4, 3 pt for 5, etc)

 

[Manster]

no way he gets that many carries. he wouldnt be able to hold up to the pounding. Coffee will see plenty of time.

and if SF does in fact run the ball 60% of the time, that's perfectly fine and won't hurt Gore's value. Coffee getting 160 carries would be GREAT for Gore if Singeltary sticks to his plan. Gore could still end up with 280-300 carries and 40-60 catches. That's RB1 touches and he will do more with them if he's fresh.

200 max lol

 

[footballnerd]

Can't believe they cut Kory Sheets. That would of been another good option to spell Gore.

Remember how bad the 49ers offense was two years ago?

Love or hate Martz he was the reason that at times they looked decent last year. I think they are going to be horrible offensively this year.

I don't see any difference between them two years ago and this year except for the fact the defense may be a bit better and now Coffee is breathing down Gore's neck. Gore always ends up with nagging injuries so to expect a high carry workload this year is wishful thinking.

I actually have a feeling Gore is going to be a bust this year. I think the amount of wear that has been put on his body is starting to have an effect and with a young talented running back in the mix now the 49ers have other options if Gore gets dinged up again.

If I had to guess I'd say he'll end up with 260 carries this year. But even that might be on the high side.

Are you serious or just a Coffee owner?A 26 year old back with LESS THAN 1000 CAREER CARRIES is a large amount of wear and tear??

Coffee will contribute.. as a rotational player.

They like him (as they should) and I think they're trying to sneak him onto the Practice Squad.They're sweating the 24 hour wait.

 

[TS Garp]

Since 2001, 8 RB's have had 370 or more carries in a season, so, no, I don't think it's safe to say that Gore will get 370 carries.

 

[Philo]

350 carries for 700 yards.

 

[Routilla]

The problem is SF is not very good so unless they are playing STL every week Gore will not be the stud many are envisioning.

 

[CalBear]

SF is not very good; they are probably pretty bad. But they probably won't be any worse than they were in 2006, when they were #24 in points scored and #32 in points against. (#26 by yardage on both offense and defense).That year, Gore had 2180 yards and 9 TDs, finishing as the #4 RB. In 2007 they were #32 in points scored and offensive yardage, #31 in rushing attempts, and Gore still finished as the #9 RB in only 15 games.It's hard to imagine a scenario where Gore stays healthy and doesn't end up in the top 10. The Niners have nothing else on offense, they're going to keep feeding him the ball.

Why do people keep insisting that RB success is coorelated to team success?5 of the top 10 least year (in PPR) were not on playoff teams. 7 of the next 10 were also not on playoff teams. So 12 out of 20 or 60% of the top 20 RB's were on bad teams, and shouldn't have been studs (in PPR).By your reasoning, MJD, Sjax, AP, and Forte should all be horrible this year too.

i took a lot of flak in another thread for saying this, but coffee will limit Gore's production *somewhat* this year. Gore may see up to 300 carries, but going over seems highly unlikely. it's quite easy to see really:singletery drafted coffee in the 3rd round BECAUSE he wanted to build the offense around the run and needed a competent backup to gore. coffee has performed well in the preseason. he's going to get around 100 carries. from the footballguys daily email:

Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat, reports on his Twitter feed that his guess of the split of carries of Frank Gore and Glen Coffee within a game would be Gore 17, Coffee 6.Our view: That would still give Gore 272 carries, only 40 less than his standout 2006 campaign, and more than he has had each of the last two years.

that would give coffe around 96 for the season. 300 carries for gore would be closer to 19 per game. in 2005 the 49ers had 439 rush attempts. in 2005 they had 428 rush attempts. this team total includes WR end-arounds, QB scrambles, and kneeldowns. say this number increases to 450. coffee gets his 100, other RBs, QBs, and WRs account for another 50, and there are 300 left for Gore.he should get 50 receptions and around 290-300 rushes. I love Frank Gore's attitude and really hope he has a breakout season. i took him in one league #6 overall, but most of the time at the end of the first round i just can't pass up Moss or Andre Johnson and missed out on him in most drafts.

First of all, a coach WANTING to run the ball 60% of the time is a FAR cry from it actually happening. Unless the 49ers line became elite and its defense did a complete 180, this isn't a team that's going to be able to grind out every single game. Even the best running teams have trouble running it 60% of the time, and teams with sub par defensive units have a tough time approaching 50% these days.Second, 370 carries is a MONSTER workload. In the history of the NFL, there have been 28 seasons of 370 carries.
