We struggled to run the ball in 2016 and 2017. Strickland was under 4 ypc which is almost impossible to do. Neal was better at 5.3 ypc. 2018 we finally were able to run the ball and we needed it as we didn't have the WRs that we did in 2016 and 2017. We threw the ball a lot less.

2019 minus the Dungey runs we had similar production on the ground. Yet we had worse production in the air and a lot more sacks. IMO part of that is on TD. Even in 2018 he was sacked 11 times vs only 87 pass attempts. That is a lot and continued into 2019 and 2020. The games he missed these last 2 years our sack rates went down, didn't matter who was in at QB.

We also stopped using the middle of the field in 2019 and 2020. Riley's production went down in 2019 and Nykeim did more in 2018 than in 2019 and 2020 combined. How much of that is on the QB? How do we fix this next season? Who is the guy in the middle at WR? I would love to see Taj there but then who the heck is our main threat on the outside?
