Two-year extension for Jaylen Warren

No backs that have high YPC do it by getting 4+ yards on every play. They get the high YPC by ripping off long runs.

My guess prior to the season was that Warren would finish around 4.4-4.5 YPC. He’s too explosive to not have a couple games where he rips off some yards. We’ve been a bit hit or miss running the ball as a team (our run blocking is hit or miss), but overall I think our backs have been pretty good.

 

I don’t think we have to have a “Bell cow” RB1. If we can get really good play from a tandem (which I think we have), then we’re more than good. A WR2 would be much more impactful than a marginally better RB.

I don’t know what Gainwell costs, but I can’t imagine it being more than 5-6 mil a year. He’s worth that, and I’d be fine throwing 10 mil at the position across two players. We are probably a good WR away from having a quite good offense right now.

 

Yep. I think anyone who looks at it knows this.

But it's something the poster I quoted said wasn't the case re: YPC.

It's the reason why Najee always had a poor YPC. Didn't get the huge runs (although he was pretty good at getting 10+ yard runs). And it certainly felt like he got stuffed a lot. We seemed to have a lot of 2nd and 8+. And then a lot of stupid runs on 2nd and long (which is almost giving up on the series IMO).
