All of our running backs lack the ability to make something happen as they get into space.I just feel like this offense needs a bruiser more than a shifty guy. We have shifty guys rostered, the scheme is not conducive to their skill set in my opinion. Zac wants to run a wide zone, but signs / drafts OLinemen proficient in power gap. It's like they sign / draft offensive lineman on measureables / pedigree only rather than seeing if they fit the scheme first and foremost. I feel like a "bruiser" at tailback SHOULD come with "pass pro ready" on his draft card, as well as "can push a pile" and "powerful lower body, keeps legs churning consistently". Things we lack right now with these "shifty" backs.
