[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 998761, member: 10086"] Good stuff. While the league has obviously devalued the Running game (just calling a spade a spade) there are absolutely and situationally times to lean on it more (to the utter dismay of several posters who think 20 rushes per contest are more than adequate) The Injury to players, Controlling the Clock/Tempo, allowing the passing phase to ramp up, to name a few. Your point on Dillon is not just opinion, it’s factual. Dillon has essentially the same number of 1st Downs (-1) on far less carry count than Aaron Jones. As you stated, It’s not because of YPC either. Dillons 1st down % to carry should be lower than Jones, not higher.. as proof. Why were we struggling with 2 dynamic RB’s and an MVP type QB? I don’t believe we’ve had the ideal blocking OL. We have heavily invested at OL from 2020-22 (9 players!). When you go later Day2 to Day3, Its usually that 3rd/4th season where you start to see those positive results. We had 3 Rookies last season and the other 6 drafted OL were in their 2nd/3rd seasons. We are now starting season 4,3,2 for that grouping. I strongly suspect we see a marked improvement as a OL group in run blocking this season. There’s a really good chance that Dillon gets both a bigger workload and slightly higher per carry this season. Jones will struggle to maintain his 6.1 per carry, but his increased workload should keep him close in Total yards output. [/QUOTE]
