So who will be the rookie RB that reaches 1000 yards this year? (1 Viewer)

I know we had a running thread about this last year, but I don't even want to try a search for +rookie and +yards

Right now Lawrence Maroney leads the rookie pace with 332 yards rushing - on pace for 1062 yards rushing and Reggie Bush is on a pace for only 522 yards rushing.

Can Maroney do it?

Can Maroney do it?

Unfortunately, this question translates to "What will Belichick do?"That question is unanswerable. Having said that, Dillon seems to be most interested in winning. I would therefore expect Maroney's carries to increase, so I'm going to guess 1150 yards for Maroney this year.

Too early to tell. Maroney and Bush are up there so far but Jones-Drew and Norwood could do it if the starters get hurt.

I think Maroneys carries may increase a little bit. I'll say he finishes with 1400 total yds 9tds

Id LOVE it if you were right, but I am more inclined to think he will hit around 1000-1100.

Well I notice that whenever I see Reggie Bush's stats they also include return yards.

Why didn't Steve Smith get those listed with him? Or Tim Brown, Joey Galloway? ???

I think Maroney is gold. He'll do it. Corey D gets a bit banged up, and that's with the reduced workload. I think Maroney will finish with just over 1000 yds rushing, and Bush will make up for it with special teams and receiving yards.
