The problem was they got rid of the hard running, no frills power back that can push a pile even if it doesn't mean big chunks of yardage, replacing him with an undrafted rookie, and then not using the undrafted rookie in that role. I understand not wanting to keep 4 RB but if your expectation was to be a solid defense/power running team, and then got rid of your most powerful runner in the hopes your second year inexperienced gadget back could fill that role, then it's not all surprising we are where we are.
