    I started a thread which highlighted some of our offensive inefficiencies, which is a better representation of our offense and running game in general than our overall rushing statistics and scoring offense.

    We are one of the league's worst in terms of getting 1st downs, coverting 3rd downs, committing 3 and outs, red zone offense, as well as time of possession per drive and plays per drive.

    Through 8 games, our RBs as a pair are averaging nearly 30 YPG fewer than through a similar sample size last year. Half of Murray's games in 2016 up to this point had been over 100 yard affairs, and half he had 4.5 YPC or more. He's had one which met both criteria this year, in a game which included a 70+ yard run. This one game has constituted nearly 30 percent of his yard this year.

    Henry's season has been similarly skewed. He had a big game against Jacksonville and a huge one against Indianapolis, mainly due to his 72 yard TD run. Otherwise, he's averaged 3.2 YPC all the way down to the lower 1 YPC range in 4 games.

    So you would be correct in your assessment that the run game is not consistent, and much worse than last year.

    Not sure what the complaint is, we only have 6 man protection, the Ravens dropped 7 into coverage, their numbers beat ours no matter what we do.

    It's a catch 22. Taywan can take the top off the D, but with Mariota lack of mobility, I believe the coaching staff has been trying to get the ball out of his hand quicker.

    One thing Mariflota doesn't do is extend plays, which is extremely disappointing for a QB with his athleticism, that would greatly help our WRs and make opposing Secondaries work that much harder.

    well obviously I’m pointing out that we can’t shift away from the pass completely. We’re talking about the impact of Corey Davis. He hasn’t been an impact by taking the top off of D’s. I agree we have to keep mixing the pass in on 1st down to keep the run game open.

    Our D has the personnel to get turnovers IF we cover the TE and don’t give up so much underneath stuff. I really hate that when we do it, especially with a quarter and a half to play.

    Well duh, my point being is that we don't have any threats at RB. So what's the point in stacking the box to key on the run against us?

    Then we should be running all over teams this year, but instead getting stalled every single run play.

    I just wish would run the damn ball on a spread formation.. Running the ball in bunch formation is pretty much a lost down at this point.

    Not to mention, the refs saying "#71 is eligible".. Defenses can stack all 11 defenders in the box because they know exactly what we are going to do.

    It's baffling that when Mariota rolls out on a broken play, it's 99.9% going to thrown way out of bounds. I'm just guessing the WR's can't get open outside of 3 seconds from the snap count.
