Entering week 15 Rookie Running back Knowshon Moreno looked like he was well on his way to rushing for 1,000 yards on the season. With 837 yards in the first 14 games Knowshon needed less than 200 yards in the last three weeks, but after only gaining 42 yards against the Colts, and 18 in Philadelphia Moreno only has 897 yards. And it now looks like 1,000 yards may not be so realistic, considering six times this year he has not even rushed for 50 yards in a game. Knowshon needs 103 yards against Kansas City on Sunday to reach 1,000. Moreno has many critics, and for good reason, he's fumbled 4 times, and has really struggled on short yardage runs. But the young back shows promise, he has won Rookie Of The Week 4 times, and he has scored 5 times on the ground, while adding 2 catches that went for touchdowns. Moreno also has good moves, speed, and power, 3 skills that are not often all found in the same back. In week 13 against the Chiefs Moreno rushed for 85+ yards and 2 TD's. Here's to Moreno, we're all hoping he'll reach the 1,000 mark.
