Matt Mueller Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Interesting but not really sure what I'm gleaning from Doug Martin being a statistically 'bad' goal line back. Quote

mgs316 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 For me, this article tells me "Get SJax no matter what it takes!" 20 some attempts is nuts. Quote

Its the part where Michael Turner had 22 attempts. If he had that many then SJax should get that many and with him being the better back he should find the end zone more thant Turner. I already planned on trying to get Morris and SJax anyway. Quote
