I'm trying to engross myself into this dynasty, but the rushing yards per game (and per carry) that you have is hard to digest. It's not my place to tell you how to run your dynasty but I think you need to work on making the run game harder or stop calling money run plays like stretches.

The problem with the inflated run totals are (in my opinion) comes from the fact that Adrian Peterson is grossly overrated in the speed department. With all the slider sets I tested, nothing (for me at least) seemed to keep the rushing numbers down. Now with Peterson, he is rated with 98 Speed, 97 Agilty and Acceleration as well his Trucking, Elusiveness, BC Vision, Stiff Arm, Spin Move and Juke Move rated in the mid to high 90's. Add in 98 Stamina, no matter what I try, he really is the Madden version of Superman (I have probably been watching too much Smallville).

With Toby Gerhart, he lacks Speed, but with him, I just run him straight into the defenders and most of the time, he gets stopped at the Line of Scrimmage, but usually I manage to break off one big run which definitely inflates the YPC and the same is for Matt Asiata when I allow him to play. He gets stopped most plays and then breaks off one big run.

In conclusion, I use Gameflow and only call my own pass plays if I feel like run plays are being excessively called. I make it a rule to not use jukes or spins with any RB (especially with AP). Also most games I sub out Peterson for Gerhart so I don't break 200 yards with him every game. The only way for to counteract the rush totals at this point would to become a completely pass first team. And with the QB's I have, I won't become a pass first team unless I find a gem in either Free Agency or the Draft.
