But again - the 'old' offense yielded exceptional expected yards per carry numbers. I think it was top 3 in football.
It wasn't the 'utilization of our OL' that was the problem. Our RBs just really sucked. The team ran poorly because the RBs ran poorly, and that's pretty rare in the modern game. Usually your running game is as good as your run-blocking is. Few RBs really move the needle in either direction.
Our wasn't. CEH wasn't as bad as Taylor was good or anything, but Williams was, IIRC. Williams was getting 'more' yards less than expected than Taylor was getting OVER expected.
Our RB room was just trash. And honestly I still don't think it's all that good - but at least it's different enough to have a little bit of hope.
