The narrative is we don't run enough and that's all SF does and that makes SF more "physical" offense and the Cowboys a "finesse" offense.
So, I looked up how much SF run more than us. I also looked up the Titans stats to see how it compares since that's the team I consider "physical". I was pleasantly surprised.
Niners only ran 26 more times than us this season. That's 1.5 more attempt a game. And they actually only gained 47 yards more which comes out to be 2.7 yards total more per game.
Would we also be called a "physical" offense by the media had we attempted to run 1.5 more and gained 2.7 more yards per game?
If anything, we are a "Balanced" offense passing 59% and running 41%.
