00:00We go to the Twitter account, guys, of Doug Clausen.
00:18I'm sure many of you saw this on Cowboys Twitter already today.
00:23He's got the top six teams in rush yards, all made the playoffs for the first time in
00:29NFL history, that being Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, and Detroit.
00:36So almost half the playoff teams, the top six rushing teams in the league.
00:40That's not just a coincidence, is it?
00:43I think the league has made it a point to stop the big plays in the passing game, and
00:48maybe the pendulum swung a little bit too far, creating a hell of an opportunity if
00:53you have what it takes to run the ball.
00:55It was a pretty big advantage.
00:59That's what happened.
01:00I think the key now is figuring out, is that going to continue to be the case for the foreseeable
01:05future?
01:06What do you guys think about this story?
01:07Yeah.
01:08If you look at it, Buffalo is on a heck of a streak right now for not allowing a pass
01:13of over 20 yards, air yards, like 40 straight games that they've been on.
01:18I think the Packers-
01:2020 air yards?
01:21Yeah.
01:2220 plus air yards, yeah.
01:23They've been on quite a streak.
01:25I believe it's 40 games.
01:26I think I saw that.
01:27I think the Packers are second when it comes to that, so it's a pretty significant thing
01:31considering how teams make big plays in the passing game nowadays.
01:37Teams are having to try and figure out other ways to move the football, and maybe for some
01:41of these-
01:42I think this goes back, too, to the offensive lines getting bigger.
01:48Maybe your defensive lines being smaller, and people are going to that.
01:53I think it's just a little bit of an easier way for them to get some yards and then kind
01:57of get their passing game going once they're staying ahead of the chains.
