That's not relatively solid. Even less so when you realize that before playing against backups in Week 18, we were 27th in rushing YPC as a team.
Yeah it's hard to judge them when they were running so much out of the gun. I think the entire offense suffered from the fact that Burrow/Browning was hardly ever under center, the play action was not used to any effect (it couldn't be since the surprise factor was almost nil). We ran a ton of RPOs but even those weren't particularly well executed. We can cherry-pick isolated stats until we're blue in the face but I see those as more of a symptom than a cause. I think a general change in scheme (if not philosophy) might be more urgent than a specific change in players. Jmo.
