More importantly the Ravens averaged 4.3 ypc which was the average ypc for all teams. 11 teams were higher and two teams were tied with the Ravens. Hardly a stellar rushing attack for a team that deploys the best blocking full back and a run first mentality.
You were talking about Rice/Leach, not the entire team.

And you can't use backs with low attempts, skews the numbers. Sample size is too small.

Rice, MJD and McCoy were the 3 best who stayed healthy and played every week. Throw Willis in there too whatever, doesn't change the productivity of Leach/Rice.

And on 3rd down when the "other" backs are in the game dragging the team YPC down Leach is on the bench.
