Yeah -- I thought it would be a problem. So did many others. I mean you can quibble in degrees if you want, but this was a known issue coming into the season. This running game has been trending towards plodding at best for a few years now. Really since Williams left and definitely as the miles started to move up on Pacheco a bit.
This was a precipice we were teetering over for a couple of years. And we finally went over the edge.

Agreed. And I don't really know the answer. Other than we need to hit on some dumpster diving McKinnon types. I certainly don't want to put major resources in a RB, but maybe it's going to take a 3rd or something to get the skills we need in the building. I even hate to do that because the injury rates on RBs are so bad.
But wherever we end up we need to be looking for more athleticism. Honestly, I have no clue why Carson Steele had a roster spot. Was he killer on STs or something? That is exactly the wrong dude to have on the roster.
