has Leach ever tried using a big bruising back in it? An Eddie Lacy or Brandon Jacobs sized back? Boobie Dixon would get 150+ yards every game facing 3 DL with 8 guys in zone.

His feature backs are small and often a converted WR. At TT & WSU, he had 1 RB listed at 6 ft tall lead the team in rushing.

His biggest RBs were listed at 6’ 205 lbs and 5’10” 210 lbs.

Well then, this is discouraging to hear. Seems like Leach is inconsistent in his philosophy of "attack them where they aren't" to me. He's starting to remind me of this guy.

Speaking of weak, I would invite you to the farm, but it wouldn't be fair, all you have is the soft slow left.

Vs Leach, most of the time in running downs or short distance, the defense has 4- 5 along the LOS and 3 LBs within 5 yards. That's 7-8 in the box. The LBs aren't dropping until they read pass.
