Running game stats 2012 - any analysis yet this year?

[RamziD]

This is from an article from WFAA posted in the Newsfeed zone:

From a statistical perspective, Smith's strength shows plainly. Check out this trend, from Football Outsiders, for the 2012 season:

Cowboys running off left end: 4.4 Adjusted Line Yards (ALY), 8th in the NFL

Cowboys running at left tackle: 4.59 ALY, 9th in the NFL

Cowboys running between the guards: 4.03ALY, 17th in the NFL

Cowboys running at right tackle: 3.2 ALY, 32nd in the NFL

Cowboys running off right end: 3.3 ALY, 28th in the NFL

Put simply, if the Cowboys are going to run, the closer the run is to Tyron, the better they are. The closer to they get to Doug Free, the more Romo is stuck in more third-and-long situations that turn into bad things.

I was trying to search to see if Football Outisiders does a game by game analysis and if they have it for week 1 of this season, but I couldn't find anything. I know PFF has it's problems, but I'd like to see something out there that grades how our OL did in the running game. I think MichaelWinicki said he was going to post something soon...
