Comments on: Steven Jackson and Running Back Records When Carrying 20+ Times http://www.footballperspective.com/steven-jackson-and-running-back-records-when-carrying-20-times/ NFL History and Stats Tue, 26 May 2015 16:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Richie http://www.footballperspective.com/steven-jackson-and-running-back-records-when-carrying-20-times/#comment-307002 Tue, 26 May 2015 16:59:00 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=25105#comment-307002 In reply to Ryan.

Yeah, this is the basis of what Football Outsiders was founded on. “You run when you win, not win when you run.”

Now, when a guy like Steven Jackson seems to be such an outlier, it makes me wonder if maybe part of the reason the Rams were so bad was because they were having him run the ball too much.

It seems like the list above is basically a list of which players were on good teams.

It reminded me of the 2013 Browns. When Willis McGahee had 15 carries or more, we won. He did it 3 times, and we had 4 wins total.

His lines:

15 car 46 yards

26 car 72 yds 1 td

21 car 31 yds

Rough, but the coaches talked about how helpful it was just to be able to run, even if the yardage wasn’t there.
