My first thought when I looked at the article was "much of that is Rodger's hitting his receiver in stride" is a large part of YAC. As I thought further I think our deep passing game, our running game, also contribute. Of course, the type/talent of our receivers adds to the equation.
We may not need a running game to win, but it sure helps and it sure is fun to watch.
