He just wasn't decisive in his running this year at all. He needs to just focus on hitting the hole and getting his 4 to 5 yards each carry. I feel like he was looking for those second level runs, when he should've been focused on getting through the hole and to the first level of the defense, instead of getting dropped for minimal game every damn time.
I didn't see this as much as other people seemed to.
What I saw as bot of our RBs getting hit at the line or behind it way too often. In the playoff game against the steelers it seemed like 75% of out runs were for 1 yard or less until the fourth quarter. They just got totally owned at the line of scrimmage. Some of it was poor blocking, but a lot of it was clearly just bad schemes. Many times a lb or ss was coming untouched to stuff a RB.
We had some seccess at times running the ball during the regular season. but we were never consistent. At the beginning of the year we were having some trouble stopping the run, but after we got that fixed the only weakness on the entire team was the running game. We were still top half of the league, but we need to be much better with the talent we have both on the line and in the backfield.
