This looks promising.....
"Like a train rambling off its tracks, Ajayi hasn’t had much of a running lane to speak of. Although it’s convenient to think he can create his own holes (and often, he does), there is a limit. And if you want a startling statistic, try this: Of Ajayi’s 184 yards this season, 148 have come after initial contact, according to Pro Football Focus.
To put it another way: 80 percent of the time, Ajayi is having to work as a one-man gang, getting hit at the line of scrimmage or before he even gets that far.
Although Ajayi has played three games to most everybody else’s four, he’s fourth among NFL backs in missed tackles created, 14."
