but, like the old "Run William Green 25 times a Game" argument, is that a chicken or egg thing. Are we 2-0 because he's getting those carries, or is he getting those carries because we're ahead and burning clock?

In most of our games this season, we have rushed 30 times or more per game. More than a few of those games have been close, late-game, losses. Only the last two games were miserably bad in the rushing attempts category (less than 20 vs Patriots, less than 25 vs Ravens).

That said, when you look at the rushing effectiveness by looking at YPC from this past game, you do have to wonder why we didn't go with it more. It's just not a matter of the raw numbers, but more a situational thing - such as has been pointed out with how we handled things at the end of the first half.
