What is the reason for it?  Plugging holes quickly?  Not letting holes open at all?  Improved lateral pursuit?

Week 1: 26 rushes  4.3 YPC
Week 2: 35 rushes  6.1 YPC
Week 3: 16 rushes  3.8 YPC
Week 4: 23 rushes  3.5 YPC
Week 5: 11 rushes  9.3 YPC (4.3 For the RBs, 24!?! for Geno)

FWIW


I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist. 

Not slowing my roll

Seattle barely tried to run it outside of Geno, so I wouldn't go by that game. And I'm pretty sure Elliott is washed.

Let's see if they play like this against a really good rushing offense. Fingers crossed.

They surely tried but Ken Walker couldn't do anything. Charbanet then took carries in the 2nd half. They had no choice but to pass and QB run down by the time they were down 2 scores.
