Randle play by play analysis (Giants)

[xwalker]

You are calling your opinion that 4.0 ypc is above average a fact. It is not.

Randle averaged 4.1 ypc against the Giants.

In 2014, of all RBs with over 125 carries, only 17 of 37 had an average higher than 4.1 ypc. That would make 4.1 above average.

Just make up the rules and you will always be right.

4.1 sucks with this OL.

If you take those 37 RBs and average their YPC it would be 4.12
Randle's YPC was 4.06 so I guess it would be below average.

and that would be using your magic number of 125 carries and excluding rush yards by QBs which would make it 4.23

Can't believe people here are saying that 4.1 was very good. I think its bad. With this oline we should be at least gaining close to 4.5+.

People here like to defend Randle and his performance and thats fine. However, I've seen enough of Randle last year to know that he's best at being a change of pace back. Many times I've seen him get tackled too easily last year. While on the other hand, Murray can turn those 3 yard runs into 8-9. Randle can't do that.

If folks here want to justify that averaging 4.1 is ok than I'm sorry to say that ain't going to cut it. We have superbowl aspirations this year. If this RBBC experiment doesn't pan out we will rue the day we let Murray walk and didn't replace him when we had the chance.

Then it was a self fulfilling prophecy. DAL stacked the deck intentionally.

If Randle is so good we should have used him a lot more last year and saved some DMurray mileage.

If he couldn't take another 100 touches last year, what makes him MORE capable this year?

He wasn't good enough compared to the guy we desperately tried to use up and get rid of. But now he is the man!!!!!!

thats fine if thats your reason lets just say we disagree. debating the issue
can wait a few weeks to see if the FO was correct or your correct.
I'm betting on the former.

Murray's lowest average in his four years with Dallas was 4.1. He averaged 5.5, 5.2 and 4.7 his other years.

I think it's a silly to think he was going to fall off the cliff if he stayed in Dallas. Now, he wasn't likely to repeat what he did last year, but I don't think it would have been realistic to expect it.

If anyone is expecting any of our backs to produce what Murray did last year, that's also unrealistic. I'm just looking for our running game to prove it can do what we saw last season ... run effectively on first down despite loaded fronts, make yardage when there doesn't seem to be there, continually pick up positive yardage. If we get more bigger runs out of this group than we did last year, that's a bonus to me.

again just review the high carriers YPC the post years most have fallen off the cliff. We'll seen see who is right.
I think the FO is laying a smart wager

The Boys made the decision that Murray was not an Eric Dickerson, Adrian Peterson or one of the relative handful that were able to have great seasons AFTER the kind of load we put on him last year. Playing the percentages and history made that the smart move. Now maybe Murray is one of the exceptions and we will regret it The odds say otherwise.

Average can include the mean or median. The median average is 4.1 for the list of 37.

We're talking about Running Backs so obviously QBs would be irrelevant.

Either way, mean or median, you said that 4.1 (4.0625) was far from average; however, it is indeed right at average.

Looking at team averages for 2015, the mean is 3.9 ypc and the median is 3.95 ypc.

There is no way to know if they made a mistake not re-signing Murray, but for game 1 Randle was right at average and had a reasonable game.

If you're judging him by last year, he had a terrific 6.7 ypc. That was the best average for all RBs in 2014.

Randle was an above average back-up RB and is a below average starting RB

 

[speedkilz88]

Tevin Coleman 9 - 32 - 3.6, until he was injured.

D Freeman 9 - 24 - 2.7

There is no way to know that. It is a meaningless statement.

 

[Nightman]

His 3 games started have been below average. Not that complex even for you X.

If Philly blocks for him the way it did tonight, it's going to be a long season for Murray. Of course, I'd like to think our defense had a little something to do with it.
