They almost overpursued our RB’s to a point.Perhaps one of the more impressive things we saw today was even subtracting Malik Willis (our leading Rusher) GB still rushed for 115 yards. We had 5 Offensive Penalties erasing 44 rushing yards. Meaning we literally had rushed for 159 yards subtracting our QB altogether) and several of those were illegal shifts or hands to face that really did not impact the run either way. Then we add in Malik rushing for 73 yards. That was against a team playing at home and 100% knowing we would run a disproportionate amount.The Titans run Defense finished 2023 at #13 in yards and #6 in per carry against the Run. This isn’t a slouch Run D we played. In 2024 so far they were averaging a Stingy 107 yards per contest. Take away the 44 yards of penalty and we were 37 rushes at 5.1 per carry against loaded boxes. Add in the runs that were erased it was 42 Rushes 232 yards at 5.51 per carry. Cleanup those 5 misc penalties today and that is an incredible 212 rushing per contest. As it stands we’re rushing for 198 yards per contest.Malik has transformed our Running game. So much so I’d call upon Matt to find ways to exploit other teams who are not equipped to handle a heavy dosage of Run. Especially in the second half as Defenses wear down.</blockquote>
