Short yardage backs are so overrated. Calling a back a short yardage back is just another way of saying he's not explosive.
Our short yardage issues have much more to do with our O-Line, not our backs. These bulldozer style backs went out of style 5 years ago.
The best backs these days have speed on speed, they cut and slash and explode through holes. They don't run up the centers ass ala LJ. Gimme another CJ, JC, AP etc.
