Last 8 games (since he started getting 10+ carries a game) he's at 4.0ypc.
Last 7 games he's at 3.8ypc.
Last 5 games he's at 3.6ypc.

His 5.9 average on receiving is 146th out of 154 qualified players.


....we have other needs more pressing to upgrade, but we still need help at RB.

Before anyone blames the OL entirely for it, Brown is 10th among RBs in average yards per carry before contact and 37th among RBs in average yards per carry after contact. 

He is breaking tackles at an extremely high rate in fairness to him, he just doesn't seem to be getting much out of it when he does. Also seems to be getting better at pass blocking, as I am pretty sure I saw him make a couple good blocks each of the last two weeks.

Yes I hate to bang the bad Oline drum everytime we're talking our RB's and it seems to happen, a lot.

But I feel with a legit interior Oline and a better scheme/play caller you'd be seeing him posting better numbers. I'm noy saying he's Barry Sanders! It's just that I feel he can be an effective rotation type RB.

We still need a #2 better than Moss
