1 yard gain and forward progress immediately stopped on contact.
You missed the part that mattered! Can’t coach you up on that
The biggest issue with Eddie are his numbers from 2001-2004 where his best season was 2002 (343 att, 1165 yards 3.4 ypc and 12 TD). In addition his career ypc is 3.6 on over 2800 rushes and he only averaged over 4 ypc twice in his career
People forget that he had 400 carries in 2000 alone. The only season that Eddie had less than 300 carries was his final season in Dallas.
The man was a warrior, but Fisher ran Eddie into the ground. Ultimately, I think it's Fisher's overreliance on Eddie that probably keeps Eddie out of the HOF because his yardage can simply be attributed to the sheer number of carries he received year in and year out by many fans and HOF voters.
If Fisher had opened up the passing game years earlier, then Eddie's numbers would probably have been better and he may have lasted a few more seasons

The part that mattered? You mean where the defender did his job and the ball carrier was stopped for almost no gain? Lol
Won that game 20-17 on the road.
Eddie was great! Not many running backs would return to a game with a dislocated shoulder these days! Also wasn’t it Eddie that criticized Henrys play which led to him all of a sudden catching fire and not really slowing down since?
Yes Henry was on the trading block before Eddie lit that fire in his ass
Earlier? Did he ever open up the passing game?
Yep, with my man Billy Volek.
I suppose the s**t KFC was throwing may have been an opened up passing game but I think it was really just a bunch of over throws.
Frankly
Had he opened up the passing game in 99, the greatest show on turf might have been only been slang.
that 99 titans team could have been greatness imo
A weird time where a lot of other running backs were better than him?
Greatest running backs in Titans history:
1. King Henry
2. CJ2K
Then 3. Eddie
Change my mind.

EG was better/more valuable than CJ2K.
CJ2K had 1 really great season. He got paid and immediately starting falling over.
EG also proved (and still proves) that he was a leader among the team, something I never heard about CJ2K.
I would say the 4-5 year run with EG was better than the 2 year run with CJ2K and a large part from EG as McNair was also often injured.
Plus, :cj:
statistically can’t disagree. But CJ2K had numerous tackles behind the LOS for -2 yds. He’d break one or two 40+ Yd per game.
id take Eddie over CJ2K (x one time) overall. Eddie brought swagger and toughness and with McNair, Wychek, Matthew’s, Mason on O and Bishop, Kearse, Rolle, later bulluck, Carter that was a damn good team. I have to admit Fisher chit the bed with his gameplanning with that talent.
