Swift & the rushing game this year.

I just don’t get it. It seems that having a credible run game is an important aspect to develop a young QB. I find it hard to believe that all of our backs suddenly sank below mediocrity. Certainly playing from behind so often these last three games has tightened up the opportunity to sustain commitment to the run game. But it seems during the games we just give it up after a token play. I thought for sure this game, with the Colts poor run defense, our plan would be to slow the game down and rely heavily on the run. Nope.

We were the 2nd best running team in the entire NFL last year (LINK).  The Shane Waldron "offense" has us producing 72 rushing yards per game.  That trajectory would produce a last place in the NFL - by far - based on last year's league rushing stats.  It would be 1224 yards for the season.  Shameful.

And when Fields ran for 1,000 yards, we were #1.  He’s gone. Monty is gone. The OL is mush this year, and Waldron is stubbornly running Swift into the “A Gap” for 2 yards over and over.

To make it worse:
