I can tell you this and I know it to be fact. Not speculation nor reading it on the internet. They look at efficiency. With Joe they often times were not confident in the run game but more confident in him in the short passing game and Chase. They knew a lot would go for short yardage to Chase but positive yards and the threat of him breaking it. Just with Joe’s accuracy versus the OL run blocking. What changed is they had no choice but go to the run game with Jake. And they’ve delivered
