The Great Running Back Debate

[Dave_in-NC]

Not having Emmitt wasn't the reason we lost those games. Having 8 turnovers and Lin Elliott missing 2 fgs and an extra point will do that however. At a minimum, we should have beat Buffalo and the Commanders game should have gone down to the wire.

Derrick Lassic wasn't a bad running back. He averaged over 4 YPC in 2 of his three starts. probably would have had over 1000 yards over the entire year. He wasn't Emmitt but who was? Emmitt was an all time great, Murray wasn't.

I disagree, Emmitt put the team in winning situations with his ability. You had to play different against him.
Teams last season had to play different against us again. If none of the RBs can prove to be worthy, we are back to passing.
That hasn't gotten us to far in the past.
