Running game

I went back through the game logs for the answer. It was at the very beginning of the 2015 season. Gio went off on the Chargers. It’s absolutely disgusting that aside from one of the worst teams in the history of the NFL, we haven’t had a 100 yard rusher in nearly two and a half seasons. How do they reconcile this with the lack of changes needed to improve?

In all honesty, I don't care if we ever have a 100 yard back, as long as we have an effective running game.  As long as we have balance in the offense and all the backs are around or north of 4 yards a carry, I'm happy with it.  Just keep the chains moving and I'll be fine. There's no difference between 3 backs carrying 8 times each for 40 yards each compared to 1 back with 20 carries for 100 yards and 1 back with 4 carries for 20 yards.  It's still 120 yards at a clip of 5 per carry.
