Same with us. In 2015, we remember a great pass attack and all the weapons, buy we ranked 26th in passing attempts and 7th in rush attempts.
Yeah, in 2015 they had a good ratio. The sweet spot IMO is passing around 55% of the time. You can approach 60% if you add in more screens as an extension of the run game. In 2015, Cincinnati passed around 54% of the time (537 drop backs, 467 rush attempts). That’s pretty ideal. Cincinnati is right around that ratio at the moment, though they have the weapons to probably pass a little more and still be successful.
