Mostert's big night

[rgarlitz]

121 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns in Miami's 24-17 win over New England. 6.7 yd average.

Raheem is quietly carving out a very respectable NFL career. He's now over 2500 career rushing yards. I still remember Mostert going nuts for the 49ers in the 2019 NFC championship game.

9th year in the league and 31 years old, but has only about 640 carries in his college and NFL careers COMBINED.

not a coincidence

Luckily for him, one of his moronic college coaches thought he was a wide receiver.

He's had an up-and-down career, no doubt. I'm sure he's experienced plenty of frustration, but he's also shown admirable resilience--both at Purdue and in the NFL. Mostert isn't heading to the Hall of Fame. Still, I'd wager his production is in the top half of all running backs who have signed with NFL teams in the past decade. His longevity alone has been remarkable.

Jonathan Taylor has THREE times the number of college and NFL carries that Raheem has, and is 7 years younger. Think about that…

Ok, so there are better backs in the league. No argument from me on that point. Taylor was also an All-American and a 2nd round draft pick.

Mostert's made the most of his opportunities. He's put together a respectable NFL career, especially for an undrafted player.

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Helps that Mostert is one of the fastest players in the league (or at least he was).

I’m just pointing out why he’s still so good at 31. JT will be long gone by age 30.

Yeah, that's probably true. Mostert didn't really catch on in the NFL until his 4th season. Taylor was a starter his rookie year.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

He still has break away speed. He has a knack to get through the hole quickly when he sees an opening.

Interesting case study in the importance of age versus carries in the longevity of a running back.

Raheem had another big day against the winless Panthers: 115 yards, 3 total tds (2 rush, 1 catch), 6.8 yd average including a 49-yard run.

Mostert and the Fins are rolling.

Leads the NFL in total touchdowns. That offense has so much speed that they create a lot of matchup problems. They'll be interesting to watch as the season progresses.

Doesn't hurt that they have a very good OL, unlike what he had at Purdue.

It is amazing how our OL has been average at best for so many years. Brees had that great OL with all of those NFL players, and we have not been able to assemble anything close to that since, except for an individual lineman here and there. We haven't had a good OL in over 20 years.

like what Barkley is finding out w/ that revolving door of an OL w/ the Giants

Evan Neal looks like a massive bust for them. You just can’t miss on those premium picks.

429 rushing yards through 6 games.

With 11 games to go, a 1000 yard season looks more likely than not barring injury.
