we can argue semantics all you want. 66 runs from our running backs. kneel downs and scrambles arent considered designef run plays although they show up in stats as runs.

our end around from meachem would only increase our ypc because it was a designed run

4+ypc is more than sufficient to be considered a solid run game

So how does that compare to other teams stats if you take out kneel downs and scrambles? You can't just alter stats for one team and ignore the other 31.

My guess is it still puts us about middle of the pack in YPC. We can do better, which was the whole point of this thread.
