They are all slightly different variations of the same player. Big, powerful running backs that lack homerun speed and weren't dangerous in open space. They struggled to create for themselves once they got the ball and would largely give you what the line gave them, but they were good at falling forward for an extra yard or two. I guess their size isn't really the issue, because there are plenty of dynamic running backs that are also big, but they are both fast and able to break tackles/make defenders miss. None of the guys I listed were very good at doing that. 

With this change in the offense and all the dump offs to the RBs I wouldnt mind seeing a more dynamic back to split time with Perine instead of one guy getting most of the touches. I think dynamic receiving back could really take the offense to another level.

I'm just glad we have a QB that can quickly get the ball to the RB on a checkdown... It was painful watching Gio get sawed in half everytime he caught the ball for years...
