[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 211931, member: 1191"] It's not so much that speed wasn't an issue as much as it was that blocking was a bigger issue. A slow runner can get yardage on good blocks, but a fast runner can't reliably outrun bad blocking. Speed hurt us last year when we had the blocks but couldn't outrun the defensive recovery. Those were the plays where the AB ended up with 9-20 yards that Cottrell, Qua or one of our other speedsters would have maybe broken. The bigger issue was how many plays only gained a few yards due to poor blocking. Again, speed was an issue, but it wasn't the killer. This. Only experience fixes this. We have a lot of guys with experience now. Hopefully that translates into positive results. [/QUOTE]
