[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 43018, member: 1045"] If Laskey was so much better at breaking long runs, how do you explain that their yards per carry were substantially identical? Was Sims better at breaking intermediate runs? I don't think either one lost a yard on a carry until something like the 9th game of the season last year. I don't remember either one of them fumbling last year either, but I am sure one of them did. I believe Sims fumbled once at the goal line that was ruled a touchdown. Maybe he had another one that counted? As for receiving, last year Laskey had 3 catches for 54 yards and a TD, while Sims had 2 catches for 71 yards and a TD. It may be that Laskey is a bit better receiver (he did have 6 receptions in 2012), but the statistics don't really bear out that it was all that substantial. Given that their production was near identical, I assume that the other poster is probably correct that the difference in playing time was due to blocking. Say all you want about your impression of one being "clearly" better than the other, but the stats simply don't bear it out. [/QUOTE]
