Just because an Oline struggles in pass protection does not mean they struggle in the run game. Give Gio or Jeremy 25ish carries and they easily go over 100 yards.

I hope the coaching staff is smart enough to see this and runs the ball more than 22 times against Houston.  

Their numbers were inflated by 1 or 2 big runs that they broke off, most of their runs went nowhere or backwards. 

28 + 1 + 2 + 3 +1 + 2 + 0 = 6.14 YPC  

6.14 looks awesome, but when you actually watch the game and see it unfold you realize that the YPC is more like 1 or 2 with the other run skewing the stats.


Too be specific with Gio (who I really like but numbers don't lie) he had 7 carries for 40 yards, the longest one being 23. So on 6 other carries he got 17 yards or... 2.83 YPC which is more like the norm on the day for all the backs with a bad O-line.

On the same line of thinking. Hill broke off one long run on the very first drive. He went for 12 yards. After that run, he had 5 carries for 14 yards which is....you guessed it 2.8 YPC. Once against nothing flashy at all.
