It wasn't just the beginning of the year though with some dumb play calling. Those up the gut runs and nothing but shotgun formation went on the entire year.
Harrell had multiple head scratchers last year. Boilers did have two above average RBs last year with Mock and Tracy; so combined with Card being banged up, and crappy WR play does also possibly explain high rushing numbers last year.
I'm a bit optimistic though and definitely eager to see what the OC can dial up in year 2. Off to a nice start.
