Vince R.

Personally I think it speaks more to how inept the prior staff was at developing a RB and how much of an afterthought the entire run game was to them.  It was a novelty in their eyes, they primarily used it to setup the pass.

@Redux That was definitely a part of the puzzle, too, no doubt. I'm just personally wary of the narrative that he's been the best back on the roster since he was recruited or that he was somehow always undervalued... even misrepresented. I just don't think that was the case at all. A lot of factors played into it. And then I think about Tre Bryant. Dude blew the barn doors off even with MR's crappy coaching and schemes. He was probably the best back on MR's rosters but, because of his injuries, I think we easily forget about him.

@Enhance We'll have to agree to disagree on Ziggy. Outside of Tre's two games where he went off, I always thought Ziggy was our best available back. I felt like you could always see the potential. I was blown away after his Freshman performance against Illinois, how he went right back to the bench. Maybe he wouldn't of been better in the long run if Bryant stayed heathly, but I still believe he was undervalued and misused by Riley.
