Wheelhouse - Interesting Stats, Info and Tidbits
Thru Week 15
1. Best season ever? LT is 374 rushing yards shy of 2000. He needs 187 yards per game to make it.
2. The only way Drew Brees ties LT for MVP is fading fast - Drew Brees needs 422 yards per game to break Marino’s record of 5084 yards in a season.
3. Put me in coach – MJD and MBIII are avging 5.7 and 5.2 ypc respectively. Something tells me they are going to be VERY GOOD next season.
By the way - that's Maurice Jones-Drew and Marion Barber for those who have lived under a rock for the past 6 months. Gotta love being able to use an abbreviation that people will understand.
4. No Portis, no problem – Ladell Betts has had 100-yd games in each of his last 4 games. Only 1 TD in that span however.
5. Green Bay's vaunted pass defense? - Jon Kitna has managed to pass for at least 200 yards in each game this season, except last week against Green Bay where he only managed 135 yards.
More dirt on Kitna - 12 of 14 games Jon Kitna has thrown at least 1 INT. Those two games in which he didn't toss a pick - week 1 and week 2.
6. My eyebrows are semi-raised - Kyle Boller in nothing more than 2 games this season has a 104.0 QB rating with 485 yards passing and 5 TD's.
7. Steven Jackson where'd ya go? After averaging 8 recs per game in his last 4 games, Steven Jackson did not catch one single pass last week at Oakland.
Maybe this is why...
