Production in the running game is 75% blocking.
They don't make many runs easier than Gore's TD. The A gap blew wide open, the Will and Sam got stuck in run blitzes while the Mike crashed down for no reason. Then the safety simply ran past his angle. The defense from Oakland was abysmal on that play and even Williams could've housed it.
The other 25% is RB traits. And from strictly a traits perspective, McKinnon looks faster, more agile and more explosive than Gore. And as a veteran back, he has plenty of experience to see/feel holes as they open.
