From the episode

Chase Brown had two. And it's I don't have to do more, have to take a deeper look at it to like actually try to figure out, is this the running backs problem? Is this some situational thing? It's troubling if he was supposed to be your third best offensive skill player.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Brown's efficiency vs. Piran's success in light boxes raises role concerns.

In Week 5 vs. Miami, Chase Brown and Samajay Piran combined for 12 carries into light or neutral boxes (6-7 defenders). Piran had 6 successful runs on those 12 carries; Brown had 2. The source notes all successful runs came with Piran as the ball carrier, all unsuccessful runs with Brown, raising concerns about whether this signals a running back problem, situational variance, or the types of runs being called. The source flags this as troubling given Brown was expected to be the third-best offensive skill player.
