When you throw stats out like that, you need to define what you mean by left, middle, & right. Maybe it is me, but I would consider any run inside both tackles to be a middle run. I highly doubt only a run up the centers butt to be a "middle" run. If you run between the tackles, the blocks on the backside are just as important as the blocks on the playside. If you run outside the tackle, more than likely the backside folks will not chase it down.
As mentioned earlier, you need to seperate the data and define it.
Edit: You may want to get data on whether he is running strong side, weak side, or in double TE's. That might be more telling than anything.
Since you don't normally run directly into the center's back on purpose, I think almost anybody would consider any run inside the
guards a middle run. I assume that's what the people who put together the gamebooks do. (And as mentioned earlier, this data comes straight from the gamebooks.) And your point about which of the OL gets the credit is a valid one, even to the extent that a pulling LG can make a great block on a run to the right, as Procter has a few times, believe it or not. That's why it would be hard to assign credit or blame for who did what on any particular play, just going by the gamebooks. You'd have to watch game video for that, and that's not what the post was about.
I'm talking about playcalling. 19% of all Barber's first half runs in the losses were to the right. 54% in the wins. Whether that means right of the RG or right of the RT, I assume it means the same thing for every game, no matter the formation.
Again. 19%. 54%. Whether it was 2TE, 3TE, 3 wide, whatever.
