Breaking down the issues the Commanders had running the ball against the Saints
One of the bigger concerns coming out of the Commanders win over the Saints on Sunday was the run game. The Commanders run game was practically non-existent. Lead running back Brian Robinson had just 65 yards on 21 carries, but that was boosted by a 20 yard “run” on a screen pass that happened to go backwards and count as a lateral and therefore not a pass. Take that out and Robinson had just 45 yards on 20 carries at just 2.25 yards per carry.
