Team Rushing Play Percentage: 2015 NFL Season
Despite being in the top half of the league in actual rushing attempts (also 11th), our yards per attempt was ranked 29th (3.7 yds/att).
We ran. Not well, but we ran the ball - more so than 21 other teams. |
We didn't run well because our offensive players were shocked that our pass focused HC kept calling running plays. I imagine the huddle conversation went something like this:
KC: halfback rush to left on 3
AM; who do I block?
KC: No you are taking the handoff.
AM: huh
PG: 8yd hitch I will be open
KC: Guys its a RUN
AM and PG: HUH?
KC: coach called a run on 3
AM PG: OHH. WOW
KC: OK. on 3
JReed: so who do I hold?
All: break!
