Oline is always more important than RB. RBs are dime a dozen. And with durability in the NFL reaching lower levels due to the speed of the collisions, you want 2 able backs who can stay fresh over a year opposed to one RB who will wear down at the end of the season.

I agree, 1200 sounds about right. That and Westbrook rushed for 1217 this season.

Barry Sanders = Great back with a mediocre line. Say whatever you want about an O-Line, LDT is a game breaker with or without a good line.

Since 1000 is an easier accomplishment, 1500 should be the number to beat.

agreed except Sanders didn't even have a mediocre line. there line was attrocious. but then again guys like barry sanders gale sayers and LT are the exception to the rule. those guys can make it happen with one guy blocking for them.
