Hmm, Philly with 33 runs for 79 yards, second highest ratio... That smells like commitment to the establishing the run.

For our purposes runs should count less if they get more yards. Commitment isn't easy Like a team that gets 500 yards in 25 runs hasn't shown faith, they just took advantage of easy yards. A team that runs 50 times for 25 yards has true faith Raku fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Oct 3, 2019 |

I’ll put in one for the Jags, because establishing the run and getting yards also serves to establish the run for future games. A meta-establishment, if you will. It's like bowling a strike so that your future strikes grant even bigger rewards.

Friends, I know we often like to kid around and have a good time, but there may be a very serious problem regarding the run and its establishment. Please direct your attention to Figure 1, a plot of the attempts and rushing yards for each of the Establish The Run Champions in the 2019 NFL Season:  Figure 1 - Actual Attempts & Yardage for Establish the Run Champion Through Week 4 With Week 4 in the books and a champion crowned, there is a troubling trend. Using linear regression, I have projected these statistics going forward. As you can see in Table 1, it becomes very grim: Table 1 - Actual and Projected Run Attempts and Yardage for the 2019 NFL Season  As you can see, Week 11 is the last week we can expect to see any running plays attempted. It makes sense for the run to be abandoned at that point, as the few run plays attempted in weeks 10 & 11 will likely result in a net loss of yardage. Even more frightening, these projections are based on the champions for establishing the run each week. Some of the cowardly teams who already do not embrace the run will likely reach the zero attempt point even earlier than Week 12. I do not know if it is already too late to avoid this outcome, but we must be optimistic in taking action to prevent a complete collapse of run establishment. Please, contact your team's front office to let them know you are dedicated to the run. If enough fans speak up, we may be able to keep the run established for our children and their children after them.

With those projections I can say that Miami is the week 17 establish the run champions with -229 yards.

Kick the Rams out of the NFCW imo. Just 18 rushes last night against Seattle’s 43. Shameful. Also I’ve decided to stop calling them rushing “attempts”. Do, or do not, as Yoda taught.

I'd like to suggest an Establish the Run Play of the Week, where we also vote for the "best" individual run, whatever criteria that entails. What I'm saying is that 3rd down option play in the 4th quarter of Rams-Hawks deserves some kind of recognition for its attempted creativity in establishing the run.

As you can see in Table 1, it becomes very grim: This is extremely concerning. I want access to this document to be restricted to the highest levels of our organization. I also want a committee formed to see what can be done about this. I think we can all agree that no methods are too extreme

My letter-writing campaign has borne fruit, as the Arizona Cardinals have reversed this trend with a respectable performance of 266 yards rushing on 38 carries in their complete and utter annihilation of the Cincinnati Bengals (trust me, don't worry about checking the game tape). This was more carries than pass attempts (32) and pass yards (248).

Since it was an odd numbered week, the Vikings again had more rushes than passes (34-27 for a Run Ratio of 1.26). Their passing game was unfortunately productive though, accounting for 306 yards to only 211 rushing yards. With both touchdowns coming through the air, I'm not sure it's quite a championship performance this week, especially with the Raiders, Seahawks, and Cardinals all putting in strong performances.

Shadow225 posted:Week 5: Colts Established the run Amen The Colts used The Run to lay low the greatest champions of the pass: Kansas City and the apostate Mahomes. The Run was established early, and often. Lo, their own quarterback established the run with a touchdown, forsaking the vile temptation to pass at the goal line. Even the broadcasters, so quick to heretically praise the pass, could not hold their tongues. "I didn't know this type of football still existed!" spake Collinsworth. And "Quenton Nelson is one of the most exciting players in the NFL, and he plays Guard!". And yea, yet again, "We came to Kansas City for football and a ruby scrum broke out!". And ne'er have I heard such discussion of bodyweight pushing the pile as graced my ears this night. Go in peace, goon sirs, knowing that the run is firmly established in week 5.

Normally I would dock those runs for making too many yards, but they specifically were done to keep the other team from (and I apologize for using this language) *passing* so if anything it counts double. Good job colts.

I only caught the 4th quarter of the colts game, but the sheer number of fourth downs converted by the run has got to put them at the top of the standungs this week. I'll wait for the stats, but my (up the) gut feeling says Colts.

When you think about it, isn't the center snapping the ball basically a pass? Doesn't that make every run a pass?

The Colts tried an outside run once and it was terrible and they should have kept going up the gut and would have easily grinded into the end zone. Like they established the run so badly that a running play was an occasion to say 'you hosed up.'

CannonFodder posted:Establishing the Run is about not using the forward pass. A lateral or backwards pass is allowed as long as the ball is advanced up the field by running. Without the lateral there is no option pitch, no reverse, no double reverse. Double reverses are evil. They attempt to advance by trickery and not grit
