How can Drew Petzing maintain a dynamic running game and elevate the team’s passing efficiency?

Drew Petzing’s running game that he employs quite frequently from 12 and 13 personnels has been dynamic. Proof:

  • 139.1 rushing yards per game (#3 in NFL)
  • 7.5 rushing first downs per game (#6 in NFL)
  • 5.0 rushing yards per attempt (#2 in NFL)
  • 44.1% rushing play percentage (#10 in NFL)
  • 1.0 rushing TDs per game (#8 in NFL)
  • 47.2% team rushing touchdown percentage (#4 in NFL)
  • 38.5% team rushing first down percentage (#7 in NFL)

The Cardinals reinforced the 12 and 13 personnel rushing attack in the 3rd round of the draft by selecting a smashmouth RB in Trey Benson, a run mauling guard in Isaiah Adams and the most physically imposing TE in Tip Reiman.
