Larry Johnson's record shattering 16 game run! (1 Viewer)

If we looked at the last 16 games LJ has played in, you will get the full scope of how incredible Larry Johnson is. LJ's last 16 games, thats 1 regular season's lengths worth of games:

The single season record for most yards from scrimmage is Faulk's 2,429. LJ has 2456 yards from scrimmage. Also consider he has scored 27 TDs and the epic proportion is fully realized.

Edited to fix drunken math...I added the receiving in twice

LJ's rushing numbers alone beat that. LJ has 2928 yards from scrimmage. Smashing the previous record by 499 yards. Also consider he has scored 27 TDs and the epic proportion is fully realized.
:eek:
 
Both Priest and LJ were journeyman. The OL in it's heyday was the real star.

LT2 behind that line would put up Video Game Stats.

Of course Marshall didn't get the nice 7 month rest over that period.....and your point is???!!!

LJ has played in 10 games this season and has 248/1045 rushing, 1388 total yards, and 14 TDs. His last 6 games from 2005:
Code:
+----------+-------------+--------+----+| WK  OPP  |  RSH   YD   |  RECYD | TD |+----------+-------------+--------+----+| 12  nwe  |   31   119  |	53  |  1 || 13  den  |   30   140  |	 9  |  2 || 14  dal  |   26   143  |	28  |  3 || 15  nyg  |   31   167  |	17  |  2 || 16  sdg  |   32   131  |	48  |  2 || 17  cin  |   26   201  |	21  |  3 |+----------+-------------+--------+----+|  TOTAL   |  176   901  |   176  | 13 |+----------+-------------+--------+----+
So in his last 16 games, he has 424/1946 rushing, 2465 total yards, and 27 TDs. That is an awesome 16 game stretch to be sure, but not to the extent you posted. Not sure where you came up with those numbers.Also, while Johnson has been great this season, his 10 games this year don't really approach the stretch run he had in those final 6 games last year.

:loco: Explain to us how LJ a is journeyman since the only NFL team he has been with is the Chiefs.
Exactly, and it's not like he was some free agent pickup by the Chiefs, he was a first round pick.
 
Math was off...too much :banned: tonight!

LJ is only on pace for 2465 and 27 TDS. 2465 would break Faulk's single season total yards record.

Larry's a stud?
WOW...Pin this thread...Breaking news here!
 
This is like when Tiger Woods won all four of the grand slam events, just in two different seasons. He needs to string it together for one season with no 8 month break in between to get the props he deserves.

Looks like he added the receiving totals twice and mixed up the ten/one numbers.2456 / 2465add 519 to that, you get about what he said.Just curious... has any RB had a 16-game stretch across two seasons that's better?I'm thinking Jim Brown has... anyone else? actually here are JB's numbers

Looks like during his last two seasons at some point he probably did.that last season scales to 2139/24 TDs across 16 games, so if his last two games of '64 were hot, he might have come close to LJ's 16-game settings.PFR doesn't have indy game stats that far back though, so I suppose it will be a mystery.Edit2: Barry Sanders looks like he did it -

2476/16TDThat's pretty insane if you think about it... that LJ pretty beat Barry in his best 16-game stretch over his career... in LJ's last 16 games.Priest Holmes:

His 2,465 yards defintely classifies him as a journeyman, particularly with the 8 month break in between.

journey: a traveling from one place to another, usually taking a rather long time.

 
Since we looked at the current 16 game run of LJ's, I am curious to look at LJ's first 16 games as a starter. Has anyone ever produced these types of numbers in their first 16 consecutive games as a starter?

2600 total yards (1995 rushing, 605 receiving) 27 TDs.

In 06, LJ is currently on pace for: 2255 total yards and 22 TDs.

What level of production is LJ capable of in his career?

 
He's had a great 16 games, and while I'm not trying to diminsh his accomplishments, it was split relatively evenly over 2 seasons.

Let's put stats aside for a moment - he takes a POUNDING each game and gets a TON of carries. That eventually is going to take its toll. How long can he really keep up this pace? Let's see how he holds up after another 4 games and then into next season.

The difference with LT, I think, is that LT is more Sanders-esque in that he never seems to take a big hit. He is elusive. LJ just pounds into people - but you have to imagine that will eventually catch up with him like it has so many people before him.

Jim Brown III agree LT never takes a drilling like LJ does, but LJ is also bigger (230-234 vs. 220-223), and that makes a big difference when you're going against 230 lb linebackers.At that, I don't think LJ has a durability problem at all. If he did, we'd start to see "held out of practice" and lingering injuries that we've yet to see.FWIW - we have seen a decline with the poor line play from last year.His averages (150/2TD) from last year vs. 141/1.4TD this year per game.At that, his 16 100-yd games in 19 starts is pretty impressive. I'd think the average for a solid RB is maybe 4?
 
I agree LJ is out of his mind, and having an incredible run. But LDT might make even him look silly with what he's doing right now.

Barring injuries, we are watching 3 of the best RB's to ever play the game; Tomlinson, Johnson and Alexander. Good times. :thumbup:

I wouldn't go that far. As awesome as he has been, Johnson still has a long way to go to be considered one of the best RB's ever. I am not sure I would put Alexander in that crowd, either.

Yea I guess I should have prefaced that with "could be" best ever for LJ. Agreed that LJ has the farthest to go to achieve that, but it looks promising. But as far as Alexander is concerned, I think he easily should be. Looking at Alexander's numbers vs. Emmitt's numbers thru their first 5 full years as starter...RUSHING:ALEXANDER: 1653 attempts, 7504 ryds, 4.5ypc, 87td's. :o EMMITT: 1630 attempts, 7183 ryds, 4.4ypc, 71 td's.RECEIVING:ALEXANDRE: 183 rec, 1346 ryds, 7.3ypc, 11 td'sEMMITT: 239 rec, 1576 ryds, 6.6ypc, 4 td's.Alexander has a pretty good start, here's hoping he stays healthy and continues to produce.
 
Just watch and enjoy. ;)

I think we've been spoiled these last few years with the types of performances we've seen. When I first started to play FF the #1 RB wasn't even THIS productive. (Faulk, LT, Priest, Alexander, LJ) I'm not sure if it is the types of offenses/schemes being run or the actual athletes. Regardless, I'm glad I had a pair of top 3 picks this season and chose well.

Cheers. :suds:
