4.3 and 4.1 is not so big of a difference (to me) that I would be so hugely concerned.
Maybe I'm still stuck in the past where anything 4.0 or above is satisfactory, but that's where I stand.

I think part of the problem with our 4.1 is that it's based off incredibly low number of attempts. We're not grinding out the tough yards (we famously chose to throw back-to-back bombs on 3rd and 4th and short) or running out games in the 4th quarter with a lead when teams know we are going to run it.

So that 4.1 is inflated by a lack of carries in situations when you innately get less yards per carry. 30th in carries, 30th in yards per game.

(It's a similar situation to how Germaine Pratt was graded better against the pass back when he was a 2-down LB. It's easier to hide being bad at something if you just don't do it much.)
