... because big plays in the offense come in multiple WR formations.
Here are Travis Henry's rushing totals in various sets last year:
0 or 1 WR:
72 att-for-221 yds (3.07 avg), 6 TD
2 WR sets:
149 att-for-598 yds (4.01 avg), 4 TD
3 WR sets:
92 att-for-530 yds (5.76 avg), 2 TD
4 WR sets:
8 att-for-72 yds (9.00 avg), 1 TD
Now for Bledsoe:
0 or 1 WR:
14-for-23, 105 yds (4.57 yds/att), 4 TD, 1 Int
2 WR sets:
81-for-141, 812 yds (5.76 yds/att), 1 TD, 3 Int
3 WR sets:
198-for-313, 2443 yds (7.81 yds/att), 11 TD, 7 Int
4 WR sets:
81-for-131, 988 yds (7.54 yds/att), 8 TD, 4 Int
Bottom Line:
- Travis Henry averaged 3.71 yds/rush with 2 or less WR on the field and 6.02 yds/rush when there were extra WR in the game.
- Drew Bledsoe had 57.9% completions, averaged 5.59 yds/att and had a QB Rating of 73.7 with 2 or less WR on the field, and had 62.8% completions, averaged 7.73 yds/att and had a QB Rating of 90.6 when extra WR were in the game.
Thus, even if Reed continues to progress as a player, depth at WR is a key to this offense. Most of the big plays come with 3 WR on the field.
