29 year old Steven Jackson, running like an angry man, finally cracked that 100 yard barrier against the vaulted 9er defense Sunday. It took an extra quarter and 29 attempts but he ended his night with 101 yards rushing and a TD plus 2 catches for 26 yards. For a rare change Jackson was given the lions share of the rushing attempts and he made it pay off. Hat's off to this elderly RB.
Frank Gore rushed 21 times for 97 yards and a TD plus 3 catches for 18 yards thru the air. Myself and many others called for this to be Frank's down year but we've yet to see it happen. If you're counting that's five 100 yard games for the RB out of nine games. Many are still saying that the grind of the season is going to catch up to him and bring him crashing down to earth but I'm not so sure. I know I'm glad I grabbed him in soffl II.
Michael Turner, the Burner looked like someone turned the gas off to his aftercharger when he ran headlong into an inspired Saints defense playing at home for the first time in a month. To be fair his line didn't create any push whatsoever but anyway you cut it, this was a failure against a "weak" defense. Still Turner has had bad games before this season and bounced back to produce the following week so don't be too quick to scratch him off of your lineups as a RB 2 or flex play.
