Canes Chatter Gone Wild: Message Board Post of the Day

Every morning Gary Ferman forces Matt Shodell to wake up extra early to identify the best recent fan CaneSport Message Board post. It could be a question, a statement, conjecture, even a food recipe (orange and green macaroni & cheese anyone)? Today’s winner (or loser, depending on your perspective):

Another 1,000-yard rusher this year? … Posted by Kimzkr: I think they will save Fletch as much as humanly possible till the playoffs…with that said , I still think he can get still get a 1000. The interesting part will be who gets the 2nd amount of total yardage ?? Loved Pringle last year and Lyle is still an enigma to me … Marty Brown is tough runner and pass catcher who makes positive plays.

CaneSport’s Response: Spoiler alert for those that didn’t read the story – we don’t predict a 1,000-yard rusher unless Miami plays at least a couple of postseason games. And the reason is exactly what Kimzkr stated above, even if Kimzkr believes there will be a 1,000-yard rusher. Because there are just so many good backs on this roster, do you really want to overwork any of them? Keep them all fresh, it’s a very long season. Also consider this – 1,000-yard back Mark Fletcher ended the regular season last year with a team-high 685 yards (at that point in time Marty Brown had 389 and Girard Pringle 362). Fletcher missed two games during the regular season, so he averaged 68.5 yards per game in the split backfield. That means if he’d played a full 12 with that average, he’d have totaled 822 yards heading into the postseason. And this year you have a healthy Jordan Lyle plus a really good-looking young back in Javian Mallory to add into the mix with Fletcher, Brown and Pringle. So yeah, there is no need to put stats ahead of what makes sense, which is to keep all these guys in a rotation to last the season fully healthy.
