You're right on this. On drives where BH had a play of 10 yds or greater running or throwing, we had 235 total yds and 3TDs. 82 total yards when he didn't. Likewise LF had 13 carries for 118 (9.08 ypc) under the same conditions and 15 for 41 yds (2.73 ypc) without a BH 10+ play.

LF is definitely the feature player but BH provides the balance and threat that makes it work.

Who knew huh?

It's an astounding stat to be sure. All I can do is hope the reason they didn't throw it around was mostly because they wanted to ease Harris into the season. I've seen what we can do with Mett at the helm and guys like Landry and Beckham, so I'm not foolish enough to say we will play like that every game.

IMO, when they do start airing it out, the RBs will have a field day.

ETA: Would love to see a true read option and the two back set be utilized.

This is so true and correct. Open up and balance the offense is key to big yards and winning games without the shitshow we saw rear its head last week. Please put a memo on all the coaches desk what the poster wrote above.
