Runningbacks are only good now for 2 1/2 years of play?
That's news to me. What history are you refering too?
As for Jamal Anderson, he had 2 16 game/1,000 yards seasons before the season where he got 410 carries. He also went down the following year because of an ACL injury. I'm not exactly sure how the carries the year prior is related to the ACL. ACLs happen to rookies just like they do veterans. High-use players and those that come off the bench. In games and in practice.
Faulk got 400+ touches in Indy before going to StL - and he continued to produce in StL for 5-6 more years.
Tiki saw 400+ touches last season in NY and has produced well this year - and iwas criticized earlier in the season for leaving the game with years left in the tank.
Edgerin James put up over 400 touches last season, got traded to the cards this year and is producing this year.
Jamal Lewis had 400+ touches in '03 and has continued to produce
LJ is a big, young back without a lot of gameday mileage on him yet. I think he has a lot of years in his tank.
