I still love Ladell. It's a cheap out to give complete credit or blame to an offensive line. But I think that in Ladell's case, he's as good as the line he's running behind. He simply cant make enough happen when a play breaks down like Clinton can. But if the O-line really gets a good sled going downhill, and he gets a head of steam, he can really get moving. I like how he attacks the first would be tackler instead of trying to escape him.

A lot of people see Ladell as a straight line runner, and he certainly prides himself on power running, but he's not a huge guy and I'm very impressed by his combination of power and elusiveness. He is by no means a complete back at this point in his career, but he is a complete runner in the sense that he can get past you in so many ways.
