re: Steven Jackson offered to Packers for a seventh-round pick

It really has more to do with the offensive line than the running back. Look at the old denver teams, everyone thought terrell davis was a god....then olandis gary put up huge numbers....then mike anderson did it....then clinton portis did it. Certain systems are made for running backs, the zone blocking scheme is one of them. Shanahan leaves denver and takes that system and voila look at alfred morris, he looked like walter payton in his rookie season.
