ATL…overly

They're better with both on the field. Free is a better runner inside the tackles, Coleman is shiftier and has better hands. They're both good, but these stats are more of an anomaly than a hard fact

Rbs mean very little and are interchangeable even the great ones

The Steelers average over 30
without Leveon Bell

Drafting rbs high or giving them big money makes no sense in today’s game

I don’t think anyone rushed for more then 84 yards yesterday lol

The running game isn't about points it's about ball control. Wear down the defense and rest yours, keep the other offense off the field. punch it into the endzone and pick up 1st down in short yardage. Teams that run it more score less because you eat more clock with the running game.

If you have to pass it all the time your QB risks injury, plus the passing game is higher risk/higher reward anyway. There's a reason teams don't get pass happy unless they're down big in the 4th quarter.
