First 3 games:
rushing attempts: 99
rushing yards: 615
yards per rush: 6.21
20 yard or longer runs: 7*
*2 long runs in the first game, 2 in the second, 3 in the third. 1 of those long runs was a WR reverse and another was a QB scramble.
Last 6 games:
rushing attempts: 111
rushing yards: 363
yards per rush: 3.27
20 yard or longer runs: 2*
*both long runs came by way of WR reverses of 20 and 29 yards.
I still read articles/scouting reports talking about how we can be gashed and how we are giving up 4.7 yards per carry but if ever numbers like those were not accurate descriptions of a defense this is it(FO and ESPN I'm looking at you). This tiny little sample doesn't even take into account all the big screen plays we were giving up early.
With regard to the Chris Johnson thread: Are we going to completely shut him down? No, he is probably the best back in the league at the moment. Heck, he might even rip off a few big ones. Is he going to go off for 284 total yards again? There is just no way in hell. This is really looking like a great match up that is going to be a lot of fun to watch.
