A lot of the time during Lewis's tenure it really did feel like the early down runs were super predictable and that the offense went super conservative without a substantial lead(the infamous run run curl punt routine). I don't know if those perceptions are 100% accurate, but these particular stats seem to support it. I wonder if anywhere keeps track of stats like "stuff rate on first down" or "run percentage called when trailing" or "run percentage called with a one score lead." I'd expect all of them to be high compared to the rest of the league.
