I can't recall the exact number they stated, but big RB's) are starting to have a field day because most of the back 7 defenders are not built to take the punishment those type of RB's deal out. They had some stats from the past season to back up their hypothesis.
Not sure if there is this type of back in the draft to stick behind out offensive line, but the argument they put forth does make sense.

Only a foolish idiot would deny that getting better running backs wouldn't vastly improve this offense against teams dropping everyone deep. I mean ffs Cinci were dropping eight guys smh.
