Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2726269, member: 1674"] This is actually pretty interesting...NextGenStats.com now tracks precisely this. In terms of rushing against defenses that have 8 or more defenders in the box, McCoy actually ranks below average (meaning he sees fewer stacked boxes than most). He's #25 out of 46 qualified RBs at 22% of his carries. Chris Ivory, on the other hand, is seeing stacked boxes on 40% of his carries, which ranks 4th in the league behind Royce Freeman, Alex Collins, and Bilal Powell. Last year, McCoy ranked 15th at just under 36% of his carries. And in 2016, McCoy faced stacked boxes 26% of the time, which ranked 17th (Gillislee ranked 4th that year as a Bill at 45.5%). So far this year, McCoy is seeing stacked boxes a lower percentage of the time than either of the prior two years; he just hasn't been able to do anything with them so far. [/QUOTE]
