Arian Foster had 29 rushing attempts last year when his team was inside the 5 -- 7 more than any other player. So no surprise he scored 4 more touchdowns than anyone else in that part of the field.
To score touchdowns, you've got to get the ball. Arian Foster got those touches last year -- 29 of them when the Texans were inside the 5. That was a lot more than anyone else.
Michael Turner came in No. 2 in that stat, which is an indication Steven Jackson will see a lot more goal-line touches than he has in recent years with the Rams.
