You can say we're a passing team or that our run blocking sucks, but aside (arguably) from DDavis, we have always had second-tier/backups or has-beens/never-were's starting at RB since the franchise inception. When are these guys going to get serious? The situation is almost as ridiculous as our history at LT. I'm hoping Slaton turns it around, but time will tell and most think he's not an every down back. It's impossible to be a good running team without talent back there. Most teams know this and at least have two decent RBs.
I frickin hate the Cowpies, but they lose Julius Jones and go and draft 2 (Jones and Choice) RBs that are probably better than anything we've ever had. They get it. And that's just one example. Pitt, Carolina, Baltimore, Titans, others... I don't know what the answer is, but it's getting increasingly irritating that the problem persists and team management seems the solution is more backups and gimps. IMO, someone's head should roll for the Chris Brown signing. Ridiculous!
