That's an impressive amount of hyperbole you've got going on there.But I thought this staff was lying through their teeth about fitting the offense around the players and never let Tommy run?

So you're going to focus on one cherry-picked stat that gives the appearance of being "within the ballpark" - which is actually a 27% reduction - and ignore the part where there was the 26% increase in pass attempts per game and a 33% increase in interceptions?Hyperbole, sure, but I've seen dozens of times over the last 9 months where posters have criticized Langsdorf for not calling the offense to Tommy's strength. For being a pure, pro-style west coast kind of guy, getting within the ballpark of Tommy's rushing numbers from 2014 is to be commended, and is pretty definitive of a tailored offensive gameplan, I think.That's an impressive amount of hyperbole you've got going on there.But I thought this staff was lying through their teeth about fitting the offense around the players and never let Tommy run?

I guess if that's how you have to try to make your point.....
Is 3 fewer carries per game and 305 fewer yards, which is almost half of his yardage total from 2014 in the ballpark?
No, and you're right: Riley and Langsdorf did partly adapt their offense to the QB, there is no denying that. It's just that it wasn't as much of an adaptation as some fans wanted, especially coming from a staff who had Tommy run it more--to a larger degree of success.Is 3 fewer carries per game and 305 fewer yards, which is almost half of his yardage total from 2014 in the ballpark?
Maybe not. But would Eli Manning have had 400 yards rushing last season? That's all I'm saying.
