We couldn't rely on shit at the RB position to get a 1st down or score a TD on short yardage for like 3 years until last year. It's almost like we are watching different seasons. You didn't get tired of failing over and over again on 3rd and 1 and 4th and 2 and on goalline with backs?

We are looking GREAT next season at RB.

All-Round back - Pacheco (people worried about his injury are funny. He will be ready to go fully healed now on contract year)
Short yardage back - Hunt
Bruiser - Carson Steele
Home run hitter - Smith
Possible 3rd down back - Mitchell

That is a dream room for what we need out of this offense. We don't utilize backs the way run first teams do. That isn't how we operate. Never has been. Never will be with Andy Reid. This is an IDEAL RB room for us.

Because they had no explosion at all, if defenses know a big run in your offense is 8 yards they are going to have zero respect for it which leads to them playing pass every down.

On top of that history has shown very few teams can consistently score without big plays, it's why bend but don't break is a legit defensive strategy.
