They explain why your run game has struggled.  Last year Harris and all were tackled in the backfield 13% of the time, this it's 31%.  The Oline is at fault.

Yes Derek Taylor brought that stat up last week, or maybe even earlier and we've already discussed it ad nauseam. And it's not tackled in the backfield, it's first contact in the backfield. Because tackled in the backfield more often is just pants on head ******** insight.

at pro level...if u hesitate...even for a fraction of a second....u are getting contact behind line of scrimmage....BO even said last 2 games he stopped doing that...looking for the ultimate seam and just hit it...and the results were obvious...the O-line has been more than fine...will be even better when the starting center is back too

No.

It is not solely on the OL

But thanks.

He hadn’t  been decisive enough. 
 

He did say it himself, and it is clear that he was trying to score a TD every run.

Bryant and co., woke up at the start of the new season...and realized...they'd forgotten how to run block. 

Couture hurt. Desjarlais gone. Neufeld not practicing. Bryant not practicing.  

 

Essentially 2 starters from last years team aren't currently playing, if you don't think gray is a downgrade on drew and if you don't think kolankowski is a downgrade on couture, well... you're wrong.

Well, all's well & good but if you subscribe to the "Next Man Up" then injuries are just an excuse.
