Sure, this year is lower but you’re talking about a very slight difference and using that to claim he’s a different player.
Right around .05 attempts lower than last year. Dude, that’s nothing. If he played 16 games last year, he would’ve had 1 more rushing attempt than this year. 1. That’s it.
I don’t see why it would be a good thing that his yards per attempt are down. Sounds like he either 1) isn’t running away from guys like he used to or 2) teams are learning how to slow down his runs and take better angles. Not sure Id brag about that. It’s counter to the idea that “he runs when the opportunity is there”.
If he only ran when it’s wide open like you’re suggesting, attempts would be way down and yards per carry would be up.

Appreciate the stats. It’s not like he hasn’t run, but the carries have objectively gone down.
Not sure what to tell you other than to ask literally anyone who watches Ravens game/film that there are far fewer designed runs/RPOs this year than ever before. It’s part of the big change from Roman to Monken.
I actually think we might see more designed runs this week since there aren’t many on film this year and it might be something they’ve been saving for this very game.
