Best thing he did today was maintain an excellent average without needing to bust a 40 yarder to get it.
Averaging better than 7 yards/carry with a long run of only 17 yards means he was just out there consistently churning out nice carries that kept us ahead of the sticks.
I do think the OL was responsible for a good chunk of it, but he was also running a lot more decisively than he had been previously. The one time he gacked it was on a 2nd and short play where he got to the line to gain then instead of finishing the run, he tried to make a cut and got stuck short of the sticks.
He needs to get out of that mindset, especially with the raw power of the OL in front of him. They're gonna trend more and more towards a power running game when they put the ball on the ground and he needs to continue to work with a physical mind-set. When he did, he succeeded today.
