Backup Rules

A couple of days ago I talked about the absurd statistics of Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones. In fact we only have to look no further than the NFC East to find another running back with similarly absurd statistics.

Here are the career statistics of Ahmad Bradshaw of the New York Giants so far:

2007: 23 rushes, 190 yards, 8.3 average, 1 TD.
2008: 67 rushes, 355 yards, 5.3 average, 1 TD.
2009: 35 rushes, 201 yards, 5.7 average, 0 TD.
Career: 125 rushes, 746 yards, 6.0 average, 2 TDs.

What's up with the rushing defence in the NFC East, especially against the backup running backs?
