From the article

Through two games, he's averaged 2.5 yards per carry. Worse, he's averaging just two yards per carry after contact. That's a bad combination when paired with an offensive line that's allowing a lot of contact at or behind the line of scrimmage. Counterpart Jaylen Warren has been significantly better with similar blocking at 3.48 yards per carry after contact. Dowdle has no runs of 10 or more yards yet, and he's allowed two pressures on his 14 pass blocking attempts. The one out we can give him so far is that he dealt with a toe injury in the first half of the New England game.
