Ballard is doing a great job at letting his blocks develop and finding the holes. Anthony had to do everything himself because teams didn't have to respect the pass with Tyson in the backfield and there weren't many holes to run through.
Moving from a 2 QB system and a committe of RBs to Relf and Ballard has made the difference. The thing I like best about Ballard is his patience in waiting for his blocks to develop. Seems to have more vision than Dixon, but lacks breakaway speed and the muscle to run over people.
