Hogs Haven on Jacory Croskey-Merritt
From the article
the curious case of Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who is averaging less than four yards per carry over four games. That number dropped to less than two over the last two games
STACKED’s take
Croskey-Merritt's rushing efficiency has collapsed to under 2 YPC in last two games.
Croskey-Merritt is averaging less than 4 yards per carry over four games, a figure that has deteriorated to less than 2 YPC over the last two games. Despite the prevailing theory that he would fit well with offensive coordinator David Blough's outside-zone rushing scheme, he has not delivered on that expectation. His explosiveness and decisiveness into the second level, which were his best features last year, have not materialized this season outside of a penalty-negated play. In Week 4 against Seattle, Rachaad White averaged 4.4 YPC compared to Croskey-Merritt's 1.9 YPC, raising questions about whether the issue is the back, the system, the offensive line, or the operation. The source notes this is his second season and he remains in prove-it mode, but the efficiency concerns are legitimate enough to warrant discussion about whether the Commanders should pivot carry counts toward Ekeler or White.
