you need a solid, stout O-Line.....If you have several RB's who get 100 yd. games then the thing in common is the O-Line blocking. Not saying Cam and his ability to see the field etc. isn't a major factor, it is, but without the initial hole(s) he's looking to just get past the LOS.
IMO this needs to ignite the line even more so as this camp opens, our new O-Line coach needs to double down on his enthusiasm and skill set, the linemen need to be even more determined. With a solid line you can take an average to so-so RB and give him a decent opportunity to make plays, not game breaker plays, but move the chains.
IMO losing him is more a shock then anything, losing him right before camp is the mind blower.....the anticipation of his play this year was just that, an excitement to see his jump in his 2nd year...IMO once the shock wears off you settle down, look around and start thinking rationally....he will be missed but he was/is not irreplaceable. IMO we go from having a primary 1 back plan with sprinkles of extra stuff added to a rotational deal. IMO they need to get a big back since everyone they have is pretty much the same short, lightweight guy.
No one will matter with a weak line....Those 1-2 yards 3rd downs have always been a problem, it's time they end that issue.
The thing I will miss most was the want to see him throw off the handoff...he was a QB at 1 time....that would have been some sweet stuff to see that is now gone off the books.
