Also, remember this is not a run first team, and that is going to affect rush totals. The way you get consistently good YPC is to run a lot and wear down a defense then pick up the yards later in the game. We don't tend to do that but rather use short passes a lot like runs in many situations.
I said it earlier on here, a 7-yard pass to the TE, an 8-yard screen to Perine, or a 4-yard check down pass to Mixon is just as good as having rushing attempts making that kind of yardage.
Exactly though, I want to see our YPC since we've done away with the zone-blocking scheme. Also, this was a new O-line with a rookie thrown into the fire, so the first 5-games are irrelevant.
