An interesting stat from last season:
When comparing "Rushing Yards Per Game" averages, 9 of the top 10 teams in the NFL made the playoffs. None of the bottom 10 in the NFL made the playoffs.
As the NFL Network replays some of the playoff games from a year ago, you can see how teams that can effectively rush the ball have their entire playbook open and they force defenses to alter coverages to help try and stop the run.
I know this isn't rocket science, but this gives me hope for how our team finished the year with the revised blocking scheme (which was incredibly difficult to install in-season), the new coach (Pollack), and new talent on the team (Glenn, Price).
