Pacheco needs a clear hole/seam into the second level to put the violence and better explosion to good use. He's not terribly dissimilar from Knile Davis in that regard.
But when teams are attacking the run lanes and/or putting another defender in the box because we haven't had the deep ball chemistry to force them out of it, Pacheco is essentially a non-factor.
It's just to muddled for him to be able to blast through. And no amount of 'violence' in his running style is going to have him blasting through 2-3 NFL defenders.
He's gotta slip around them and he just seems ill-equipped to do so.
