Find a running game or exit early

It’s really the only other thing we need. When you have to grind out some yards to make the defense respect it, opens up passing lanes and makes play action work. It should be the number one thing they focus on the rest of the year.

RB wasnt a big priority in the offseason.

Everyone said Tony was the answer, even though his foot was pointing backwards after the freak injury.

So have a RB1 who cant run.

RB2 is a scrub.

and RB3 is a mini-me.

I agree but we were not going to make a living running against the Eagles Sunday, not with their interior DTs.

Nope. But some sort of run game is needed.

We need better blocking.

I agree with your talent assessment to an extent.
BUT it would also help if one of the 3 offensive coaches be it McCarthy, Schott OR Solari, had even the slightest clue in how to establish an effective run scheme.

The 3 of them are absolutely pathetically clueless in how to run the ball.

All 5 linemen all of a sudden suck and the RBs we do have have forgotten how to run behind them.
I don't think so.

Coaching is a major issue.
