Matt Mueller 146 Posted August 21, 2013 Interesting but not really sure what I'm gleaning from Doug Martin being a statistically 'bad' goal line back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgs316 14 Posted August 21, 2013 For me, this article tells me "Get SJax no matter what it takes!" 20 some attempts is nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,339 Posted August 21, 2013 Which part? I think I missed it. Drafted him last night! P.S. I wasn't trying to hate...all info is good info. 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.
