The ironing is delicious.
A CFL stats junkie could maybe do some research - the last 20 years or so - and find any CFL season long starting RB who has an average/ carry as weak as 4.1; OR - a starting, oft targeted receiver who has only caught 50% of the passes thrown his way. But maybe the stats lie or are meaningless? OR - maybe it's all Tre Ford's fault ?![]()

In 2006 Josh Ranek had 85 carries (which led the team) with an average of 4.0 yards per rush for Hamilton.
In 2000 a player I've never heard of, George Jones, had 105 carries ( 8 less than team leader Cory Philpot), with an average of 3.9 yards per rush for Winnipeg, including a 98 yarder for a TD, according to Pro Football Archives.
But 2011 was Fred Reid's last CFL season and previously he had seasons with averages of 7, 6.8 & 6.6 yards per carry = outstanding
That was also towards Josh Ranek's last CFL days and he had seasons of 6.4 & 5.4 per carry before that.
Both finished with CFL career averages of over 5 per carry. IF they had rookie seasons like this stiff Rountree this year, i doubt they would have played much more.
