Not only that, but the Chiefs averaged 9 yards per play on offense yesterday. Obviously there were 4 or 5 big plays in there, but the fact remains that if you keep feeding someone who's < 4 YPC on the prospect that a big play might happen eventually, you're slowing the offense down, not speeding it up. Especially when big plays are happening when other guys get the ball.
There are only 50 or so touches in a game, and if you got 5 of them and didn't produce, giving you 5 more doesn't make sense. That's 20% of our chances devoted to you *because* you didn't produce?
He did have one longish run, but you don't get more volume because you're not producing...
