I know what you're saying about giving those two the most carries. But you're saying that 2 guys have 2/3 of the carries as 8 other guys. I don't think that's particularly uncommon.

And, I know I've said this before, but, part of the reason that those two have such a higher ypc avg. is because of how their runs are set up but the HB. The defense has to hold position in a number of looks because of the alternative threats, in turn creating more space or less defenders in the running area.

Nearly 25% of JF rushing yards came on 2 carries. Sure, other RB numbers are also inflated by long carries. I'm just saying that I think those are a product of the offense as opposed to the ball carrier in these instances.

I'm not saying Lester's offense is setting the world on fire. I'm just saying that there are so many variables you can't pick and choose the pieces you like. The offense is a product of the entire mechanism and not one individuals overall talent.

I do think that Lester's offense is very efficient though. I also think that with more time it will become consistently better. It's not designed to put up 600 yards. It's designed to create mismatches, move the chains and score.
