And he does sometimes go down too easy on the first hit. It's not 100% on the line. That said, I did wonder why we run so often to the right when our best linemen are on the left.
Data backs you up on this one. It isn't a huge disparity, but the Bengals do indeed run more right than they do left, despite having more success on the left. Here are the numbers...
Rush LEFT - 152 carries, 4.51 yards per carry, 0.012 EPA per attempt, 42.7% success rate
Rush MIDDLE - 65 carries, 3.12 yards per carry, -0.218 EPA per attempt, 35.3% success rate
Rush RIGHT - 186 carries, 4.07 yards per carry, -0.098 EPA per attempt, 38.17% success rate
