I'm sure there's also a big difference in how the lead back is utilized compared to how Pierce was used. Just sayin', there's more to it than comparing A to B when they're both on the same team and it wasn't a case of a committee splitting carries. It was clearly one guy backing up the other and spelling him occasionally, which can skew the statistics one way or the other.

How I looked into it was just focusing on Forsett himself and his in depth statistics. For example, he was tied for 3rd in the league in YPC, but tied for 24th in YPC after contact.

He also had a VERY highly rated pair of run blocking guards along with Zuttah doing some work in the run game as well.

I actually find it funny that I try to compliment your team and you seem to be upset that I referred to the Baltimore interior line as "sick". That's a good thing if you weren't sure. Forsett is a fine RB, but a lot of RBs could have done work behind that very talented offensive line. I don't think Forsett is terrible, but I don't think he's amazing on his own. I doubt he'd be gashing defenses behind the Giants interior line.

I'm a firm believer that games are won and loss in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Like I said earlier that Olines are a big key to all teams running game. Look at the Cowgirls last year after investing in their Oline for several seasons it paid off big for them last season.  I bet you wouldnt say D Murray is an "okay" back and "anyone" could run behind that line.

This is basically his exact argument against Pat on the topic of Richard Sherman. Just because I said he's not amazing/is a fine RB clearly does NOT mean that I think he's "garbage". I don't even know how you could reach to that conclusion with my post. I merely said that he's a fine RB that had a helluva lot of help from his fantastic interior line. I stand by that.

I think Demarco Murray is very good, but his line surely helped him a lot.

It's the exact reason I believe Marshawn Lynch to be the best in the league right now. He does it by himself. He breaks tackles, he forces missed tackles, and he's just a monster on his own whether he gets great blocks or not. If Forsett doesn't get the big blocks, he doesn't look like such a great back.
