I can't help but think that there may be a simple answer. That's probably because I experienced the glory days of the Hogs and John Riggins.
I think what we need is a true power runner for goal line situations. If the opposing defense needs to sell out to stop the run, it can't help but open up other plays for the offense. In the glory days, if Riggins and the Hogs didn't run over the defense then Joey T. would kill them on a bootleg.
We all know that we're not going to get a dominant OL overnight, but shouldn't we leave no stone unturned to acquire a true power runner ASAP? That would have to help. Please don't ask me where to find that power runner; that's Vinny's job. I don't care where or how he does it - I just think he needs to get it done,
now.
True power running and JC running bootlegs - that's my thinking. I think JC would do a darn good job running a bootleg with a run or pass option.
