Exactly. An average is usually derived by finding the mean - which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in a set by their number. You can lie with statistics by manipulating the data set but the math itself never lies.
Uh, so you are saying we have a great running game???
Nope, never said that. Only that an average is an average is an average. Once you start manipulating the data by removing certain data points you can make it say anything you want. See the book I posted earlier called how to lie with statistics.
Everyone and their brother know that the O line can't run block at the moment... It's the :dead: topic that just keeps on giving on egriz, but until we have something better to talk about that's probably not going to change. In the meantime I guess we can just keep arguing about what data to include in an average.
