6. Steven Jackson, HB, Rams
He may have picked up plenty of yardage, but how much of that is down to his offensive line and amount of carries? Just 2.6 yards per carry after contact isn’t good enough and Jackson isn’t going to make defenders miss like the top running backs. If you don’t like Ahmad Bradshaw because of his fumbling, then how does LeSean McCoy not make it in?

Whoever wrote this hasnt watched a Rams game all year. The Rams have a TERRIBLE run blocking offensive line, and i'd be willing to wager that Jackson has been blown up in the backfield more times than any RB in the league. Stat dorks have migrated from baseball over to football, and it's an annoying trend.
