The run struggles wasn't just an issue with the rb's. If you look at it as a whole there were numerous things that played into it being mediocre at best. First the line seemingly couldn't open a single hole up the middle so guys like Hill struggled there. Gio went down for almost half the season and he wasn't getting a bulk of the carries because he's not a guy who's going to hold up if he is tasked with running 25-30 times a game. Burkhead who was probably our most versatile back was seldomly used. Also take into consideration the numerous injuries, new players, new OC and it's easy to see why our rush attack suffered last season.
Side note: I do think we need a damn good RB and I'm all for Mixon now.
