Blame the coaches for the poor personel packages, or the blockers up front for a crappy job, but there aint too many running backs who are going to make a successful play when hit 2 yards in the backfield.

We can have a very successful offense without raising Betts' rushing totals.

I agree, on short yardage situations it never seemed like our line got the push or the blocking needed. There was obviously some confusion and conflict between Gibbs and Saunders philosophy.
