3.1 yards per attempt rushing. This is 111th in the nation.

Last year was 3.3. Year before that 4.3.

Based on the level of competition we faced, defensively, in the 5 games this season it is even more atrocious.

Now with 2 starters going down to injury it appears the Air Raid will be in full effect. Let's hope so at least.

Average to Below Average OL....blocking for Average to Below Average RB's....running Average to Below Average plays

Even if the play call and blocking is great - our RB's are pretty basic and as un-explosive as it gets.

There's no fix here to make this a "good" situation. Bringing our Below Average production back to an Average level is the best you can hope for
 
Yet, Mario felt we should have ran more last night.

I get OL is his thing, and wants them to be the most physical unit on the field, but until he gets his lineman here, that ain’t happening with this team, this year.

Focusing on the passing should be the priority the rest of the season.

What ever the talent on your team does best.. should be the main focus. For this year at least.

He is establishing and imposing his philosophy on the team.

They will learn, and either sink or swim.

If they sink, Big Manny is going to recruit his swimmers.

This is the long view he is taking. Its what he was hirwd to do.

Miami is averaging 4.0 per rush.
 
Was anyone under the impression that we have a championship roster? It'll get better.

Denis and Sagapolu are not large men, nor are the blokes they replaced. Too compact. Just go empty backfield exclusively and let Van Dyke throw it until his arm turns to jelly.

Clark looks straight out of fat camp himself. He looks like lil Donaldson out there.
