But what's his touches to fumble ratio?

And back to your regularly scheduled program. "Wearing down the defense"

No, any touch is supposef to be called.

TSonn wrote:Yeah I'm fine with McKinnon for next year and beyond. What an ####.

I'm not. We need to draft a every down back. McKinnon is not it.

We're gonna be down 20+ points at halftime at home.

I'm so glad AP is such a fast healer and has come back to give this offense a huge spark

That Mixon kid from Oklahoma who punched a chick seems like a stud.

He did pop a #### though....

This is going to be a blow out, guys

TSonn wrote: But what's his touches to fumble ratio?

McKinnon hasn't fumbled this year, but he's only averaging 3 yds per carry.
Asiata has one fumble and is averaging 3.3 yds. per carry.
Peterson has one fumble now.

We suck. Hope it is just the injuries but fear it is more than that.

No, it's not. Here is the NFL rules on illegal touching. Note the first one specifically states that the ball must be caught (not just touched).

1) A forward pass is caught by an illegible receiver such as an offensive lineman.

2) On a forward pass, the receiver steps out of bounds and doesn't re-establish himself in bounds before catching the pass.

3) On special teams, when a player from the kicking team touches the ball prior to it travelling 10 yards.

Boooo. Boooo. Boooo!
