And it wasn’t a shot at Alex smith, but the down field passing game tends to open up when you have the NFL’s leading rusher in your backfield. Opponents tend play more one and one on the outside and stack the line.
Also you have obviously more options in the red zone when you run the ball effectively.
It’s really simple...not shedding light on anything new. It’s not a shock the eagles lead the league in rushing.

This.. everyone keeps saying how bad we need a RB, including our front office. I disagree. If you have a o-line then backs can be found. The Ravens picked up Alex Collins off the scrap heap and he almost had a 1,000 yards plus a 4.6 average. I'd prefer we draft Nelson from Notre Dame if he's BPA when we pick. Apparently he's an elite run blocker and we couldn't get a half a yard when needed. O-line was the staple of what use to win around here. Remember Doug?
