you're just talking out of your behind and can't possibly quantify your claim
but even if that were true ... whose fault would it be?

Where were they not improved?

All of those measures are correlated to how many plays they ran

Ok then lets look at one stat: yards per play

Taysom in Riley out. THAT alone makes a difference

With the run game being the main focus those yds/play are significant imo.

Oh please keep,it going! Again I LOVE your schtick. Did it take you a long time
Sgt Schultz

So is that an admission that you have lost the debate?
PolarisPrime
4/22/14 6:04pm
When one party, you, doesn't understand what irony is how can you debate? but,
Sgt Schultz
