Another rushing attack article?

A couple of weeks ago (during the bye) I ran a couple of stories (1, 2)about the Eagles rushing attack.  Those stories were driven by a spreadsheet which I've been keeping.  It breaks out the running back's carries from the play by play published in the NFL Gamebooks.  I've continued updating the spreadsheet and was going to do another on Saturday, but life conspired against me and the laptop had to spend the weekend in my office.  

Would you guys like me to run down what I think the numbers in the play by play say about our rushing game one more time?  In brief - pathetic.  Given the team's current state of affairs, I'm not sure I want to look, but if I do - it'll probably be long...

Poll
Should CE take another look at the Bird's Back's Rushing difficulties even though it might cause him considerable pain?
Yes, he's all about the pass - make him hurt!

No, we all know the ground game sucks - no need to belabor the point.

Here’s a FWIW.
I spent some time looking at the play by play and want one more week to add a couple of data points.
I’m actually going to chart plays from baltimore because of something in the PxP that really stands out.
Here’s hoping Andy and CO have noticed what I think is a pretty significant finding…
