That isn't his game. He can be effective in other ways that help this team win ballgames. Hell, he can be a driving force when called on (he has been at times). But the guy's not Chris Johnson - he doesn't have much of a long gear.
So if you want to get up in arms because a guy isn't doing something you should've never expected him to do - be my guest. It's like complaining that Brown struggles with speed on the edge - no shit. That's who he is. It's who he's always been and always will be.
At a point you have to look at the roster we have and ask how it can be utilized and that's where the conversation has to shift. We're about 18 months removed from the CEH pick. It's over. It's done. Now the question is how can we use him to win football games?
Lots of ways.

I'm not really up in arms about this. I was a bit surprised to see him caught from behind in 20 yards. By what appears to be a DE. I didn't follow LSU, so I had no idea what kind of back he was coming out.
Kind of expect my 1st round RB to be able to take it to the house vs any DE from anywhere on the field given a 5 to 6 yard head start.
