1000 yard rushing duos · PACKERSHOME

In the long history of the NFL, there have been 6 duos to amass over 1000 yards from the same backfield in a single season.

Last year Green Bay was fortunate to have two capable backs in Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Dillon in his 2nd year in the league amassed 803 rushing yards on 187 carries for a 4.3 average in 17 games with 5 rushing TDs. Jones in 15 games tallied 799 yards on 171 carries for a 4.7 yard average with 4 rushing TDs.

With Green Bay WR corps in flux and 17 games in a season, does Green Bay lean more heavily on Dillon and Jones and do they both have a shot at 1000 yards rushing in year?

John Brockington and MacArthur Lane…the best running backs duo in NFL history. Most of you babies have no recollection.

Let's start with keeping them healthy for entire seasons first...

But without Adams now, rebuilding receiving core and maybe most importantly some uncertainties along the OL (especially OT), it might be smart to go with a lot more short stuff and then of course Rodgers will take a few bombs here and there.

I think the major question though is what so few seem to be focusing on, that OL.

Is Bakhtiari healthy and going to stay that way? When is Jenkins going to get healthy? Can Meyers stay healthy? How are the other options going to do?

Suppose, as per the topic. I don't think both will get 1,000 yards. I do think Aaron Rodgers will have one of the highest completion totals of his career though. A lot of dinking and dunking.

I don't see it happening for one simple fact, and that is Rodgers would have to stay with the game plan and be a system QB. We all know that's not going to happen as now he has huge pressure on him now we supposedly do not have anyone to catch the ball. He will be trying to make them all look good and show its all about him and not the guys catching it.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
