Currently we're at a franchise record 19 games without a 100 yard rusher

I wonder what the record is for the last 19 games. How important is the run game really. Just enough to keep the defense honest , run the clock down in the fourth quarter. Back in the 70s the NFC would mostly be running , while the AFC would mostly be passing. Had so many great runners throughout the years Jim Brown, Earl Campbell, O.J. Simpson, Emmett Smith. Can’t forget Dorset. Riggins.

We’re showing more balance every week, it’s coming hundred yard game

I think the correct way is. It will definitely be 20.

Mostly thanks to the NFL creating rules that benefit QB and WR play. Passing plays are more exciting. It creates more Fantasy Football numbers. It's better for gambling. NFL knows exactly what its doing.

Not trying to say our running game doesnt stink because it is God awful.

..another stupid stat. Who cares?

Just win the damn game. Sometimes you'll get it, other times you dont.

How many ways can you make PB&J sandwich? Not just one.

Atlanta is giving up nearly 150/game. That’s Rico’s best shot at cracking 100.

One reason is we’re using a committee of backs, rather than one back and obviously we don’t have a great runner. None of our backs break off long runs. Pollard was our last 100 yard rusher. I believe it was around week three of the 2023 season. He was given 23 carries and came up with 122 yards.

That number is gonna get a lot bigger

And watch everybody saying cook is washed first game he gets called up going perfromnbetter that every back n 1 game lol

 

[John813]

Give Luepke 5 carries and he'll have 200 yards.

You’re not seeing a lot of 100 yard rushers these days because a lot of teams are using multiple backs. Bijan Robinson has only had a couple of 100 yard games in his career and those were last season. He’s gone 18 straight games without a 100 yard game because Atlanta uses multiple backs. The combination of Lamar Jackson and Henry has Baltimore leading the league in rushing.
