Behind the Steel Curtain on Rico Dowdle

Dowdle managed just 15 yards on 8 carries; one carry over 3 yards after his first.

Dowdle had an especially tough go of things in Week 1. After picking up six yards on his first carry, he had just one carry that exceeded three yards the rest of the day, finishing with 8 carries for 15 yards (1.9 YPC). Under center he averaged 2.3 YPC (6 carries, 14 yards), and in shotgun formation he averaged just 0.5 YPC (2 carries, 1 yard). The source attributes much of Dowdle's poor performance to offensive line struggles rather than his own execution, though notes he needs to execute better on certain plays.
