edit I hate tables:
Rushing yards per game last year
1--- 64 || ||9--- 81
2--- 229 || ||10--- 156
3--- 116 || ||11--- 122
4--- 111 || ||12--- 56
5--- 94 || ||13--- 65
6--- 75 || ||14--- 31
7--- 49 || ||15--- 87
8--- 51 || ||16--- 61
Rushing yards allowed per game last year
1--- 58 || || 9--- 102
2--- 97 || ||10--- 160
3--- 32 || ||11--- 84
4--- 168 || ||12--- 182
5--- 85 || ||13--- 174
6--- 127 || ||14--- 141
7--- 169 || ||15--- 159
8--- 148 || ||16--- 260
Neither of those are something to write home about, but I think the defensive yards allowed are far more glaring with fewer injuries
8 of our games (50%) we had 80 yards or more rushing, by comparison we held the opponents under 80 yards just 2 times.
Add to that the fact that we aren't a heavy run oriented team to begin with. But lots of teams LOVE to run against us.
Look, you take the best player available in the draft, or trade down, but it's ludicrous to say LG is more important then a run stuffing NT.
