what's the source? I don't recall being a pass first team as your stats suggest so I went to Pro Football Reference which shows we ran 474 run plays and 454 pass plays, your stats show they ran less than 50% of the time which is not at all what I recall-though I thought it was even more pronounced than the 51.2% rate, maybe it's just so rare to be weighted toward the run that I over estimated in my mind. Most teams weight far more tot he pass. This year it shows they have 277 pass attempts to 239 run attempts for the Vikings.@NodakViking said:

The scheme is completely different, too. 2015's was a running offense@Montana Tom said:
I thought I’d do a YPG comparison. Keenum through 6.5 games (I counted the Bears game as 1/2). 203 YPG avg. Int’s .3 / game. Teddy was 201 YPG, .56 Int’s/game. I’m sure anyone can do the rest of the stat comparison, but I’d offer that Keenum has acquitted himself well as a backup vs. Teddy...and to throw some controversy into it...perhaps better than a backup. That's not a fair comparison. Keenum is in his 6th season. Teddy was in his 2nd. What's more, the offensive line has been completely rebuilt. For example, Joe Berger, the weak spot on our line this year, was its strength in 2015. Further, Diggs was a rookie and wasn't even active early on. Our best receivers were Mike Wallace and Charles Johnson that year.
The scheme is completely different, too. 2015's was a running offense meant to slowly develop a young QB. This is no such offense. Teddy had several games when he didn't throw more than 20 passes. Case threw the ball 43 times today.
I love that we have Keenum as our QB2 and he's played well. But he's not a long-term starter, and we'll likely find that out the hard way in the next several weeks if we're not careful.
The 2015 team ran the ball. 29.5 times per game.
2017 / 29.3 times per game
Never mind, you are correct they ran the ball a lot more in 2015.
since you are logged into a stat site what % of plays run were run in 2015 vs 2017. I'll venture to guess we are running significantly more plays and hence a lot more pass plays.
60.5 in 2015

It sure looks like they weight far heavier to the pass this year than in 2015 to me.
