And yet, 4.1 yards per carry without Trey and 5.3 yards per carry with Trey. What's your magical explanation for that? That isn't some tiny amount. As I already pointed out, that's the difference between the 2nd best run team and the 25th.
The only reasonable explanation is that I'm right: defenses have an extra thing they have to pay attention to with respect to the run game with Trey is on the field. The yards per carry show it. And the film shows it. That's the most reasonable answer. I suppose maybe you can say that because he can throw deep they're not putting as many in the box, but I highly doubt that, and don't feel like rewatching two years of games and taking note about coverage for a long shot explanation. The most likely one is clear: Trey affords the team to call additional run concepts because he can take it up the middle for four, five, six yards a pop.
I just showed you a 50 yard run that had nothing to do with Trey. He is a garbage runner compared to the real dual threats. In a 4 game sample the numbers can easily be skewed by those kinds of plays. I've seen the 9ers really dominate on the ground, and Trey has never been a part of it
You showed me a 50 yard run that showed linebackers respecting a run with Trey. There was no other back in the back field and Deebo was going the opposite direction of those pulling linemen. Trey was the threat they were following.
They read the lineman and move that way without Trey. We've seen it for years but you want to give Trey credit for it, I'm not going to go that far
And you do know NFL teams run counters, right? Lance was not the only threat to come through that hole.
First 2 plays on these highlights, a 6 yard run and 30 yard run that have nothing to do with Trey. Using numbers from a 4 game sample isn't going to get you accurate projections for what Trey brings to the run game. It looks to me like Deebo just dominated bad run defenses and you're giving Trey the credit
