Montgomery's Week 1 efficiency metrics lag Marks; workload remains fragile despite touchdowns.

Despite two touchdown notifications in Week 1 against Cincinnati, Tommy Jaggi's film review shows concerning efficiency metrics. Montgomery's adjusted yards after contact per attempt was 2.6, forced missed tackle rate 15.0%, and rate of contact behind the LOS 70.0%—all worse than Woody Marks in the same game. Of 34 RBs with 10+ carries in Week 1, Montgomery's success rate ranked 16th, and his 3.0 YPC was just above MarShawn Lloyd's. Snap rate shows 55.0% for Montgomery vs. 45.0% for Marks, but short-yardage rushing share is 48.0% vs. 52.0%, and two-minute snap rate is 45.0% vs. 55.0%, emphasizing fragile workload concerns.
