    Most blame the Phins dismal running attack on the team's run blocking. I took a look to PFF on team's rankings in run blocking, and to NFL on teams running. There were some surprises.

    Top 5 Run Blocking Teams and Their Rank In Running


    1 Dallas- #16
    2 Houst- #7
    3 Jags- #3
    4 Pats- #9
    5 Jets- #4

    Worst 5 Run Blocking Teams and Their Rank In Running


    1 Tenn- #17
    2 Rams- #25
    3 Pitt- #11
    4 T B- #8
    5 Minny- #10

    Miami was the 13th best in run blocking, and #21 rushing. We had a negative grade but, there were only 9 with positive ones.


    Seems like you don't really need VG blocking to run with success.

    How do they rank run-blocking, by pancake stats?

    So o-coordinating is held accountable too right?

    I assumed they only measured individual olinemen on running plays based on what they are expected to accomplish (holes).
