Okay, between this year and last year, my running games (as measured by ypc) has dropped for both my FB and RB. I lost one OL to retirement (he was probably #2 or #3 out of my top 7), but that pretty standard turnover. The other OLs are now more highly trained.

Anyway, the statistics are dramatics:

RB: s29 5.1 ypc - - > s30 3.7 ypc.
FB: s29 4.5 ypc - - > s30 3.3 ypc.

This is in elite games only. I don't know, I don't think my schedule could account for such a swing. And I don't think my line is that much worse - - perhaps even better.

Anyone else seeing this change?

HB s29: 4.9ypc, 155 for 755, 4 Fum.
FB s29: 6.6ypc, 130 for 853, 0 Fum.

HB s30: 5.7ypc, 111 for 634, 2 Fum.
FB s29: 6.3ypc, 85 for 532, 1 Fum.

League games only (1.1), and I've been running a bit more with the HB this season - but if anything the run game seems improved for me, despite losing 1 very good OL, and a brutal blocking TE (48 blk, 48 str), so I was expecting a bit more of a pronounced drop off.

Leaguewide rpc is down from last season.

I do not have a split between RB and FB but overall

S 29 rushing: 4.39 yards per carry (15065 rushes)
S 30 rushing: 3.90 yards per carry (6136 rushes)

What is this worth without knowing which formations played? Not talking about strength on field. I mean, it is 10%..."it is down" seems kind of too much for me.

I'm running scrimmages right now where I'm trying to gather more data about this but it appears to me that running averages are a bit low.

For example, running from Goalline O versus a 344 defense I only average 2.30 yards per carry so far (from 151 rushes). I'll share more info once I have more data.

Not sure...it's probably not a perfect measure...but I doubt everybody in elite league changed their playbooks between seasons.

I would have hoped the opposite

So you are going for Goalline O, and everybody on field knows that a rush will happen next, probably. 3-4-4 means 3 linemen and 2 MLB...plenty of options to counter the run. I am not surprised.

If Goalline O vs 344 averaging 2.30ypc is okay that means that Goalline O vs 443, 52 and 533 should average even less than 2.3ypc because they're even more run oriented defenses, right?

When you are going to ignore the "material on field", yes
