We can and should if we want to understand how well we run the ball handing it off to the running back.

No, you can't. The totals still include positive yards gained by the QB!


It's true that sacks often skew rushing totals, but just subtracting sack yardage is too simplistic relative to an "accurate depiction" of a team's running game.


If you are trying to focus on RBs, then you should just look at individual RB numbers because there are a number of ways that rushing totals include yardage gained or lost by someone other than a RB.
