But here's the thing, this is nothing new.
2019 - 32nd giving up 2,382 yards at 4.7 a carry. We gave up 22 twenty+ yard rushes 2nd worst in the league.
2018 - 29th giving up 2,204 yards at 4.7 a carry.
2017 - 30th giving up 2,046 yards at 4.2 a carry.
How is it this team has been able to maintain it's stinking vs. the run so long ? It's probably the main reason we're 0-2 now.
A lot of coaches will tell you that stopping the run is about an attitude. Just like running the ball on offense. Our attitude is way too passive on all fronts. Can't believe I am typing that as I would think this QB would have his guys playing like their hair is on fire.
