and I'll running back this year in the NFL and their production have certainly
gone that way way down and Graham and outcomes bill Barnwell
outlines this with many sky a
key running backs and star running backs in the National Football League so let's
just start with Ray Rice very quickly in 2012
he rushed for 257 yards 1,143 yards
4.4 yards per carry 2013 down immensely 140 carries for 120 yards
3 yards per carry take the Bears at remorse
yeah totally the Bears horrible horrible run defense
a lotta variables go into every single deadly ready to move it that's the
problem
he just stands there you not gonna get any of that a lot of variables go into
every single player and with Ray Rice it's simply falls on the fact that Matt
Birk retired
and rock bottom line has been abysmal they run I believe between the two
guards the most
outta any team if not you know top 10
yes I run my for today you know the white house right
crime what I remember him being an ass he put out an anti-gay at
your Cormac Burke okay parade of it was a problem but
I think that if you watch reruns like he's a little slower
he seems a little slower I you know it happens normally
you know i i would I wouldn't trust what my eye sees his eyes incredibly
deceptive and all wrecked my eyes are old
on that's why I'm going now um
because red you see the situation Ricky
that day would break I'll
I but like he looks lower and he's at the age
where like that happens it happens so quickly and you know I'm watching
football for 25 years 30 years
and you see guys who are like they look fine one year and then the next year
Dover at
much weather for running back in I was looking into the Ravens game services 26
too is that yet but I mean you'll but he's taking a pass I mean he's not at
that age lol
but he seems like he's at that age is really what I want to say because
on and looks lower and other details that could be
last year's eventually help a hip injury like that they wouldn't be as and then
that could slow you down to combine that with the over 21
but I was watching the Ravens Bears game on Sunday and
whoever was doing that color commentary on the game said you know
rices lost half a step but he still should be getting that whole
and another just speaking in announcer particular really did you lose half step
in the NFL
like that goes a long way rate you have like whatever it is you have a third of
a second to hit at all
advocate you to this is the second is that a third
work certainly after 2nd that a third well guess what some incredibly talented
23-year-old linebackers gonna be there
the love of god why game is that I definitely think most to
credit that's right mister so I mean losing is death is a big deal
and you know imagine like your got these are the one that got a hole that
blocking they got a hold for attended the second more
that guy just comes of it a little yep any bug you and then you don't really
get through the hole in a
what could have been an 8-yard run is all of a sudden a duet CJ Spiller is
also down this year what
office that's very very quickly if we can't last year to 103 carries
01244 yards six yards per carry in 2013 this year
123 carey's 507 yards 4.1
yards per carry a lot of people are saying that is able is
not healthy so that's another worry for him bring other injuries even more
dramatic than it is for real that movie needed
for the apartment homes provider football player a good camera without
you I would
I'll at the known from the a still a personal secured to carry
you're gonna come down that that that that all timer you know but although
Peterson was also secured to hear a lecture
a so Miller clearly heard and heard
in the lead a which is good employees that have missed games and other games
read at
unsurprising getting 4.1 yards a carry I saw that that
that surprised me got a dynamic player and I suspect Lt
he he'll still doubtful their top of the line and it will be trade also left for
Tennessee
so back to another factor that goes into it and ending at never placed in
they cut the cut their a month ago he visited up with this change in a
keep trying to one-up each other so right now the defense is giving his way
so you have a certain amount there's one thing that is more developed feelings we
lock in the office is keeping
the state because we believe it is given a shame to not be passing a lot more
only because
didn't seem too far away is not I'm too many things you can do with the run
here at certain places you do certain schemes that we we saw a lot that
well kept coming to this big common thread I'm years ago
now in the two running backs game a system that happen know quite what are
the cons well you have to have acting up all the road
the last 10th and then when you head
know what that committed give it to change the way they keyed in on people
and some I think some I thank for that with people in the box and expect net
shut down a lot more this run again which caused a lot of God
with a passed ball the time with go in and the receivers are just so immensely
talented
I don't like at I'm starting to come around best theory that like
you know just don't run but you still have to run
obviously he's not saying totally take away the run but you have these
receivers
that are so good and so talented not that the running backs are
not talented but that the the amount of the yard that you could get on a run
play
what is it 11 thousand and ideals of a 98-yard
me a running back who get-together the whole and he makes about presley
0 the defense a while you've got one back to do with any of them
crashing d-backs you have those people who may be double cover
year let the Phillies to defend one guy
Adrian Peterson William is also down if we can pull it is that's very quickly
bill Barnwell get from Grant lynda.com doing a fantastic
job on this subject in 2012 340
eight carries 2,097 yards six yards per carry fantastic year last year
again again that was with Christian Ponder who is also the quarterback
part-time quarterback this year in 2013 194 carries
851 yards 4.4 yards per carry
appears in showing a bar or predicted a decline for Peterson that here
any showing all the signs it it's hard to be running back that you're getting
hit
250 three other time every change so dramatically when I grew up as a
washington fan
and those great Super Bowl teams that the team at in the you know 82 83 when
they lost a seven
the receivers you know Ricky Sanders Gary Clark burgess et al Din Garrett
Charlie Brown
those guys were a little they were all little and then the one guy who wasn't
little
and he's in the Hall of Fame finally Art Monk
was impressed like you know it was big but he was you wouldn't he would not run
anybody and then all the sudden like know what if they were bigger and
grander
you know what did that happen think we we we know the truth levels though the
human
right and happenin gathered caller in bigger and
battle the top three wide receivers this year are tall and fast
have gotten AJ Green and that does burn
yeah I mean and that every team has got you look and the the Bears got to
no Jeffrey in Marshall definitely you know you guys were Johnson evenly
Bethea declining a little bit but www
doing that can get the call to greet us that he dominated that game you know in
so I i aged it's a different word world and the quarterbacks
haven't caught up so I don't think it's got a circle back I could be wrong
and obviously there will be successful teams the run lol
the ball that still come in the Redskins who as dynamic as rg3 was
excuse me washington with the day at dynamic is
any was last year that what was great about the team was now for more soon
their ability to run
just I can't give you one thing the Barnwell leaves out in the Jamaal
Charles analysis coming on that very forgetful you know it
is that Jamaal Charles is on the field %uh those guys who like the only guy on
the field
I guess Ray Rice is of paramount police put some carriers brokers
who's also had a terrible year is up to you but you know i mean
his carries that's not really they played what what are they 91
now so we're sixty-three percent through the season so he's close to all the
pages for
about the same number carry any the most dynamic player on the of
yeah he had his every play catches a gazillion that yet to tell
you know his yards per carry may be down but I'll
I don't really see much of the decline think that the water the arctic air is
30 but I think the biggest point B this is the fourth even worth
wanted incomplete yeah course it will be movement on the market represented he's
headed to that about that they never carry
based on the percentages two more exactly Chris Johnson who has also been
hounded production wise CJ 2k she likes called own risk I have like
one good year yes I guess he had a good year yet if you use 276 carey's 1,243
yards but
4.5 yards per carry this year down once again
167 yards 600 167 carry 630 yards 3.8 yards per carry last one
Marshawn Lynch is also down as well in 2012 315 carries
under sixteen hundred yards five yards per carry this year two hundred
89 25 4.4 yards per carry again
the story with Marshawn Lynch a similarly to a few others is that the
office line is the bad Chaka meeting
and possible colors brown 4.4 yards a carry when you know the guys over at all
until
great brother the late PK Wrigley reduced those carriers will go down he's
not gonna get 23 and carried
based on that page this year so there at least producing it scares
me said members alleged what a strange players
to me somewhat surprising players are you saying that he likes killed
I thought he was done I mean you like a failure in buffalo buffalo and it was
agreed
many what this I and II mean I can't say only at that he'd rather have been like
my pic
partial good you know and now you now all of a sudden he's this toward a
veteran tough-guy
we did his age his age is staggering yeah i think is twenty Dec
in Caddo 31 years old but yeah there's no way we're gonna
I made with not only in 2012 because look he look like it
almost wholly looked already looks like he's got a kid ink did
in college at my son's then Tuesday
you know be James it's rather get it I am
a very quickly level will wrap up bill Barnwell I want to get him
the most another credit in the world in the NFL at least 27 rushes per game
that has been that has been the the president
that the NFL is set in Russian a 26.9 right now that the first time in over
200 ever
seventy percent in yards from scrimmage are pass plays and running backs
are averaging 4.1 yards per carry on all the lowest since 2007
yeah and the which is the surprising part about that the interesting thing is
that you would think with
7 percent up at the art coming from pass plays with teams keying on the
past warming imagine that many teams spend the whole game most to the game in
the nickel
therefore the guard you're here double to the writing group but have not gone
down so that that and that is a little
I can't quite explain that and that include these
you know yet that include these increased yards per carry
from more quarterbacks all these quarterback to the runners get on
average four yards a carry those guys average seven yards characters when they
scramble the mirror
Robert Griffin run by time for 49-yard
so I that those numbers are very surprising this league has become a
passing league in
I don't see that changing they're just gonna be more more good quarterback
and as more and more guys and and to some extent has something to do with the
whole
racism in the NFL too is that goes completely away
every team is now comfortable I would imagine starting a black quarterback
that's the right guy
so many these guys can run now these guys are gonna get more they're gonna
come in the college
and if they're not a pure pocket passer teams are gonna be like well maybe
neatly
on you know now so the beleaguered okay turned up
you're not drawn the run up your go ahead in Mobile it and the actor
the right father who was running for a basket through them all
returns I turned ugly SMS from a lot and now the killed with the let alone
the deep in stock spoke to this day you you have no longer be
fast call receivers on 101 covers sometimes is playing wide open
I don't think I don't think I don't think they'll be teams individually that
that rely on the run but I think in generally is pry once they break fifty
9.9 percent up
our yard a game from scrimmage on pass plays at my hunch is that that's going
to be
seventy percent for that rest up
ok
