[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 841512, member: 12283"] In the first eight games under Petals as OC, the Titans' running backs ran the ball 183 times for 641 yards, which is a 3.5 YPC average. They only had one game in those first eight where the RB's averaged above 4.0 yards per carry. In the last eight games, the same running backs ran the ball 191 times for 951 yards, which is a 5.0 YPC average. They had four games above 4.0 YPC, and three above 5.0. Even if you eliminate the outlier (Henry went off for 9.3 YPC against the Jaguars), the 2nd half average was 4.3 YPC. Just to put that in perspective, last year 4.3 YPC for team rushing success was dead average (17th), while 3.5 (the first half rate) was worse than the worst in the league (the Cardinals at 3.8 were 32nd last year). The point being that success in the rushing attack took time as the line and backs got used to the system and found their rhythm. Hopefully Green Bay isn't floundering in futility for a full half season. Hopefully it catches on more quickly for the Packers. But I think we all need to expect an adjustment period. [/QUOTE]
