Top tier RBs are getting away with 15 carries a game.
This theory of a bell cow back in 2020 being some great thing is silly.
Alvin Kamara is the best RB in the league and guess what? He can’t carry the load either. Nobody should care about that. It means nothing anymore.
nah not true Kamares the best or top 3 HYBRID Back in the league..there are different backs like different , I mean CM can do all that as well that rook in KC and others
possession Receivers vs Fast ones Vs Slot
Run first Qb vs pockets passers vs Hybrid qbs
Strong safetys and Fs some are rangy and can cover, others are simply better against the run other
etc etc al over the football field at every position there are different types of Players that get choses to run certain schemes and do what ever that team needs more..
Zeke a true bell cow can block, run with power, and catch the passes backs typically are expected to..Henry, Chubbs, and other's fit this mold
when you need 3 Rbs RBBC style to get all of it done and it works ok then you can do it but no way RBs are plug and play
you need to quit the daily 9-5 bickering with 12 Zoners about zeke , you wont flip the pones who have differing opinions
not just any back can be an NFl starting back..sorry that like saying a QBs or WR is plug and play and its not true..zeke was blue chip his whole life and excelled every where hes been.. when we chose him at 4 he was our identity run first OL was in sync with back and old OC
not zekes fault KM went pass happy and given cart blanch to do whatever that didnt include the run game being the focus AFTER Zeke got paid...odd w ve had zero success in years zeke wasn't featured or available his best 2 years Playoffs, no playoffs with his 2017 suspension , and 2019 they let dak be the focus and the fluffy number got us 8-8 and no playoffs..
this is not surprise its all there the defense was further exposed when the run game didnt own TOP , its been down hill from 2016 until now because the Ol the OC and well a lot around zeke changed..
cant blame zeke for wanting to get paid and he would be happy to go back to Callahan's offense because we won more when zekes featured..its all right there.. KM inserted as OC 2019 , 8-8, 1-3 start with dak and sitting at 3-7..
zeke belongs in offenses like the Browns and Titans not whatever KM has been trying to do and thats not on zeke..
running backs are not dime dozen that the worst narrative ive ever heard.. you maybe be able to do without just one great back but that doesnt make the one bell cow back extinct..see titans and browns and even ravens to an extent where running was winning games..
if thats where Jerry and KM wanted to go to a RBBC then they shouldnt have paid Zeke, ill agree but blaming zeke for the drop off is ignorant, hed still be zeke in the offense he was drafted to run..
