His best YPC average of his career was in 2011 when we didn't have Frederick or Martin. Hard to pick up what you're laying down here.So you're saying the difference in production is the OL then?

Could you imagine not having a long snapper on the roster? That would be craziness.So, LP is in your top 3... noted.
You figure the team has someone ready as a backup?Could you imagine not having a long snapper on the roster? That would be craziness.
Charley Hughlett is just a phone call away.You figure the team has someone ready as a backup?

I suppose you can but good luck finding a decent skill position player at this time of year.I was told you couldn't sign a replacement as part of this game...
Agreed. Although, I'd be tempted to include Fred. He ties that line together and shuts down pressure up the middle. The line took a big step forward when he arrived. Imo, he's the best center in the league already.Dez, Romo, Tyron. That's my three but like stated there are probably 3 or 4 others that could be interchanged in there.
Well obviously the number of carries directly correlates to the amount of yardage; you can't rush for 900 yards if you only have 100 carries through this point of the season.Or the team continuing to run instead of just thinking of it as something to do to break the monotony.
I don't have numbers in front of me but there is no way the raw data for running averages are the same across the board now as in 2010 or 2011.They are producing because they are committed to and believe in running the ball. Any statistical way you look at it, the raw average numbers are the same.
We went from a running less than 40 percent of the time on first down to running it nearly at 60 percent.
That's not because Leary and Frederick got better after their first season.
2011 164 897 5.5I don't think you get this same production simply by giving Murray the same amount of carries in, say, 2011
I know his career ypa was in 2011, but there's no way with the attention that is getting paid to the run now that he duplicates it in 2011. We simply were not a dominant run blocking team. It's a situation where stats don't tell the whole story, unless you are attempting to argue that Holland, Costa and Kosier were in any way comparable to our interior line now.2011 164 897 5.5
2014 187 913 4.9
Care to explain how its clear so all of us can understand it? The part about its more the OL.Well obviously the number of carries directly correlates to the amount of yardage; you can't rush for 900 yards if you only have 100 carries through this point of the season.
I don't think you get this same production simply by giving Murray the same amount of carries in, say, 2011 (I'll stay away from citing last year because of disagreement as to improvement in the OL from last to this year).
So that means either Murray is playing better, or the OL is. Or some combination of both.
It's clearly a combination, but it's more the OL.
What I said is "clear" is that it's a combination.Care to explain how its clear so all of us can understand it? The part about its more the OL.

We weren't even close.
