The NFL’s Top 10 Running Backs Have More Touches

Compared to the league’s best, Jennings has not been given a fair shake. He has ensured a set back due to an early injury to his hand and has not seen nearly as many touches (3:1 ratio) as Elliott, despite being as nimble and experienced at finding ways to elude tackles.

If McAdoo is afraid of what would happen if he increased Jennings workload, then he needs to overcome this emotion.. It’s time for the coach to do something new and go all-in with a rush first attack that sets up the pass.

Instead the offense is dominated by a so-so passing attack that has not been dominate this season.
