Ryan Grant has a 4.2 ypc average. I don't know about you guys but I was pretty surprised by that. I was under the impression that he was averaging just over 3 ypc this entire season. Just kind of snuck up on me, I guess.

Yet Ryan Grant was the source of all our running problems? Sheyaaaaaaa!

Dude has been running hard for most of the season.. he isn't elusive but he is the battering ram type. What I would give for a pure speed back with some elusiveness to pair with him to use later in the game.. yesterday we had that defense gassed towards the end of the 3rd quarter.. a speed back would have tore that Cowboy defense apart.

He's definitely looked better this year. Is it the offensive line or him not having injury issues? Don't know. It's good to see him busting free into the secondary again.

Now all that's missing are his 50+ runs and catching a basic screen pass.

because he hasn't really been that consistent so it's not really noticeable. He has only gone over 4.0 ypc in 4 games so far.

Absolutely the offensive line. He's not a top teir back but very very good with a strong oline. If we weren't stuck in so many 2nd and 15's I'm sure he'd have a lot more yards. He's in the top 10 regardless.

Much like the 1200 last year. He would be much higher if we were winning more with cleanup duty.

I agree. I'm not too crazy about our approach to the RB position. Grant is a serviceable #1 back, but you want both - speed, and power. Heck, even to give your #1 a breather. Look at how Chester Taylor makes AP's job so much easier. Or another example - look at Sprowles, how much he means to LT.

We could use a good #2 back. I was hoping Green would fill that role for this year. We may actually see a lot more of Green as the year progresses.

Grant has had a nice season. I have so many facepalm moments when people go after him. That is soooooooo 2008. Our line play has been worse this season (including in the run blocking) and he's had better production. If you can give him a crease he's a solid running back.

He's not Chris Johnson good. He'll never do the things AP does. I'm okay with that. I want a guy who wants to carry the load, and say what you will about Grant but he really is that guy. He wants to carry it as many times as possible, and as the statistics suggest he gets better and better with more carries as a game wears on.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I understand Grant can run the ball like a "battering ram" but that seems to be all he knows how to do. He also can't catch a pass for his life. I like the guy but I don't think he's the future at RB. He's just a serviceable option.

Ahman is averaging 5.0 ypc in limited duty so far, and has caught a few passes. Brandon Jackson averaged 5.5 last year, and was an effetive receiver with 30 catches. Not too shabby, kinda like how Grant is not too shabby for a starter. We just don't have anyone exceptional.
