That might happen... we simply don't have a running back that allows our offense to runs enough.


So PT's 4.8 ypc is what's holding this team back huh?

Why are we having this argument again?!?!

He didn't do crap at the begining of the season when he had a shot.

He doesn't get enough carries but when he did he did so great.

That was against the bottom rated defenses (except tampa) and at the end of the season when he was still fresh and the other teams were not.

Did you see what he did to Chicago.

Yes. I'd say we were set at running back if we played Chicago 16 times this year but we don't.

He started over Rashard Mendenhall at Illinois.

Justin Vincent and J. Hester started over Charles Scott. So what?


I was fine with the assessment that we just didn't know about PT before because I could see both sides of the argument, but the argument swayed to PT not being that good when S. Payton was interviewed on NFL Network and said the RB position needed to be upgraded. To me this screams that the coaching staff has no faith that PT and Bush can carry the load at running back and PT has not shown that he can do that yet.
