OL has been dominant running the ball

Passing efficiency is what wins!

Pretty funny that the top 4 teams on the list are a combined 5-7 right now. Meanwhile the teams with the 4 best QBs (by QBR) are 10-2.

They have really good WR/TE too. Look at the bottom of that list and you'll see some questionable WR/TE talent on many of those teams.

This.
Look, the rushing numbers through 3 games are very misleading. In the Seattle game, a ton of Zeke’s yards were 1. when we were behind by 14 and their D was in “prevent” mode, 2. One of Zeke’s runs in Sea was 25 yards followed by a fumble, which negates those 25 yards. 3. This team so far this season has averaged less than 3 yards a rush on first down.

We shouldn’t kid ourselves. When you take out the “junk yards” while facing dime packages because we’re behind two scores, thnext year is running game is really average at best.

Completely agree. Average at best. I say below average. Early in games we are not able to run the ball effectively. We are not able to do anything effectively early in games, except 1 long pass to Austin in 3 games. If we tried to pound the ball early with this line, with the other team waiting for it, we’ll be 3 and out a lot. Thinking we can just pound the ball with the other team waiting for it is not realistic.
