Bit o' Matt Ryan trivia for ya, he averages 5 YPC

When you subtract the kneeldowns and the negative yardage from his rushing totals.

PFR will give you the number of kneeldowns and yardage lost here:

It's 126 kneeldowns for -146 yards, or a third of his rushing attempts are kneeldowns. 

His total rushing numbers are 384 for 1148, so his rushing totals without kneeldowns are 258 for 1294 for a 5 yard per attempt number. The kneeldowns bring that down to a 3 YPA

Been wondering about what that number would be minus kneeldowns, now I know.

That's 1.5 rushing attempts a game for his career, that's probably about where it should be. If he runs 2-3 times a game for a first down or a TD, helps keep the defense honest.

Nice find...you must be bored, but good stuff right here.  Ryan’s a far better athlete than most think

That is funny.  Felt like when he does pull it down and goes he usually gets nice yardage so I buy it.

Our Tevin replacement is already on the roster!

LOL, I'd pay to see and hear Ryan's reaction to Koetter suggesting he run ten times a game.

Yeah, been wondering what his actual rushing totals were myself. Finally realized that PFR  has that stat.

Man, you are going to lose your mind this offseason when every player that is cut around the NFL gets a new thread on if we should sign them. 

When you see "should we trade for Antonio Brown" threads you're going to realize this post was not the one to criticize.
