As you might have heard, Maurice Jones-Drew would like to replace his existing contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Perhaps the Jags would re-think their stance if they knew they were playing hardball with a man who could one day be the rushing king.
Jones-Drew was asked Tuesday if he believed he could catch Emmitt Smith for the all-time rushing record.

They asked him huh? I wouldn't expect him to say "no, I can't"

Never say never. Redman is going to get at least 2000 yds this year.Originally Posted by polamalubeast
Hey MJD, first you have to get an OL like Emmit had back in the day
I think it will be some day. Won't be in this type of game with all the RBBC and it will take a guy staying super healthy but I think it will happen one day.

I don't think so either, not with the emphasis on passing being what it is nowadays. Don't see many RBs toting the rock 30+ times a game anymore. There's going to have to literally be a sea change in the NFL back to an emphasis on running the ball coupled with a very special RB (think Walter Payton/Barry Sanders special) coming along who's durable enough to take the pounding for it to happen, and I just don't see it.
I agree and I'm sad.

I thought a certain running back with the intials JK, and an abundence of suddeness and glide, broke it in one season?
