12 carries for 34 yards and he is compared (but not comparable?) to the Latavius Murray loss. I don’t know. He is a depth to the depth guy. He is ST or inactive when Kamara, Miller and Williams are on the 53.
It’s the greatest 2.8 ypc, 34 yard game in NFL history.
YPC doesn’t always tell everything. Tony Jones’ touches were mainly short yardage situation. He did his job as a short yard back. He was even better with picking up blitzes in pass protection for Carr.
Run blocking’s also more consistent for Taysom’s direct snaps than it is for traditional RB run plays. There’s 9-10 blockers for Taysom, while he immediately locates the hole from behind center, vs. 6 blockers for RBs who are establishing momentum from handoffs behind inconsistent run blocking.
None of our RBs are popping off good gains until several carries in, including AK in preseason. Jones’ first carry this season was a 5 yard gain on a toss play in his only touch in week 1 though, fwiw.
