So, ... Ryan Grant IS better at finishing ... the half's. :)
Ryan Grant does run into his linemen often. I have the video's to prove it at home. When I say 'often', that is meant to be at times when there was a one cut option he could have avoided it. He at times runs with his head down. If he's worried about his eyes, the NFL allows a clear visor to be worn.
Before you get jumpy, I do like Ryan Grant. I'd just like to see him with his head up more often and making cuts to use his blockers, rather than trying to prison sex them.

I wasn't saying he didn't do that. Just that he isn't bouncing off, landing in the backfield and losing yards.
If he goes into the line strong with his feet under him and heavy lean, it is hard to make that cut if the hole isn't where it is supposed to be. If he goes into the line under control with his feet wide and on balance to make a cut, he won't get any yards after impact.
If the hole is right were it is supposed to be, Grant blasts through for a big gain.
3-4 minimum or a couple big runs and some negatives.
I like having both options myself.
Starks and Grant gives us that.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
