[QUOTE="Lee, post: 196510, member: 786"] You're probably right in me making a rookie mistake. I did take M-train. As far as outliers, as [USER=1015]@upwgdrb[/USER] said, MM's lack of carries and playing time factor in as well. I feel like a game in which a bback gets 5 or less carries is an outlier as well. It's tough for any feature back to get any sort of rhythm getting 3,4, or 5 carries. Most of the best backs get better as the game wears on. I think MM's spread between his median and mean would have been a lot closer had he gotten consistent carries this year. ZL averaged 16.7 carries Per game last year excluding the 2 games after he got hurt (4 carries for 13 yards). Look at the games that MM had with at least 8 carries this year and his numbers look a lot different. Like you say, it is up to coach and we obviously we disagree on where he best fits. I also said earlier that if he ends up moving because he got beat out, I will be ecstatic because that means we are in very good shape at that spot. For this to happen, I feel like he would have to be knocked out of the 2 deep IMO. I dont see any way that could happen based on what we know now. [/QUOTE]
