Why do people complain about a productive but under-utilized running game when the receivers dropped more than 40 passes?

If any group needs work, it isn't the RBs.


I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

I just feel like our current crop, which now will have an offseason in the program, are not merely talented, but fit our system much better.

Not to say I'm not an asshole or anything.

Running backs arent the problem. We were almost last in attempts per game and the line cant run block for the life of them. Blocking better + running more= better run game.
