Can Redskins run from biggest concern?

Both ends of the running game are struggling with one more concerning though a depth chart change could make the difference.

Some concerning stats entering the Week 8 bye week

Running the ball

* The Redskins led the NFL in rushing after Week 2. They now rank 21st in yards per game (99.0) and 27th in average per carry (3.7) entering their Week 8 bye.

* In those first two games, Washington rackd up 343 yards on the ground. Over the next five games, 350.

* The direct cause and effect seems evident as the ground game turned when left guard Shawn Lauvao suffered a season-ending injury early in the Week 3 loss at the New York Giants.
