Its the realization of how little teams run the ball in this league. They had 130 yards rushing in the first quarter. They basically mauled the N.E front 7 for a large portion of the game.
The league is devoid of true power runners and even the elite backs run out of spread formations for the most part. It was funny seeing Felix Jones last two games. For some oddball reason hes been ducking his head , initiating contact and running up the gut with purpose. For a fragile guy I found it odd. Perhaps hes scared to lose his job ? Then an interview nugget reveals that sitting on the bench watching Murray he realized he needed to run with more authority and toughness. Was this not coached into him earlier ?
Theres just something very satisfying about seeing a team just man up and run over the front 7 of the other team. Theres a bunch of talented runners in this league I wish they'd be used more.Especially since defenses probably arent adept to stopping it anymore.
