Yep. If the jumbo is used on third and one and you run for 1.3 that is a successful play. Shotgun may involve more second and third and longs.
Still Washingtons overall point is, I think, it's a passing league. And that is undeniable.

For instance, I would expect Jumbo to show up mostly when you only need a yard, or, more directly, are one yard from the end zone. You aren't going to get any 20 yard plays to move the average up.
They may have reacted that way...but they're not good at it:
