29 yards - Bowden Jr. That is all, just surprising to me.

As it should be. Kamara’s longest run was 17 yards.

Tony Jones & Miller had a longer run as did Taysom.

I think a lot of that is because we have 2 WR (Olave and Shaheed) that weight 185 and 180 respectively and are not even average as blocking WR's go. Compare that to just LSU who has Nabors at a stocky 200 and Brian Thomas Jr at 210. Online also sucks and our RB's are not that fleet of foot.

Maybe. But a lot of it is the fact are OC never made a concerted effort running the ball throughout a whole game.

All good points, but O-line gets ZERO push on run blocks. The RBs are getting hit at or behind the line wayyy too often. Playcalling, formations, & motions could help by not being so predictable as well.

This has been worrying me. Long runs almost always have good WR blocking.

This is surprising. Remembered Taysom having a long run yesterday, but that was "only" 27 yards.

For teams Texans had the shortest for 24 yards, and Washington also had 29 yards.

Jets had the longest of the season at 83 yards.

We have smaller less experienced WR's. Olave and Sheed are young and a little small. MT is good at it but didn't play much. AT is a rookie. Its going to take some coaching up.

OK that's funny.
