[QUOTE="Fat Dogs, post: 878588, member: 12450"] This is very interesting. I applaud you for the time and effort that you put into this. There has to be a plausible explanation if these numbers are accurate. How can a Team that allows so much yardage per attempt consistently win games? Here are some of my thoughts. Good teams build leads and then go into prevent D’s. They will allow a trailing team to run clock all day. This same process allows a QB to **** and dunk down the field because the D’s only concern is giving up the big play. This idea also allows a QB to scramble (unscripted run) that still counts towards rushing totals. I wonder how many playoff teams also give up large YPC averages? I’m willing to bet that those playoff teams had above average turnover margins to make up for the yardage given up. My point is stopping the run is important when the game is still in hand. A team that can’t run is forced to throw the ball in down and distance situations producing sacs and turnovers for a defense (the real determining factor) to the outcome of a game. [/QUOTE]
