    Other than 1976, he ran fairly little.
    Seriously, Rocky had 4 rushes for 17 yards in Franco’s first two seasons.

    I found out yesterday you can only compare yesterday's player with today's players when it fits a certain narrative. So....:shrug:

    Who cares, that is what he gets paid to do. They shouldn't be giving him a 2nd contract anyways so use and abuse him while you have him.

    And now RB's are bigger and faster, OL are bigger and faster, TE's bigger and faster, WR's bigger and faster. And lack of practice? You're arguing that getting slammed every day in practice at full speed, in pads, didn't shorten their careers? What exactly is your point here?

    Didn't MT semi shutdown Claypool end of last year for exactly the same reason? Go figure.

    Who cares? It's not like Najee is carrying the ball 25-30 times a game.

    I think he is still behind Derek Henry in touches per game.

    The point is most guys are bigger and faster which makes collisions at full speed much more violent ,that's simple science...The next part was more contact in practice would help guys prepare for in game contact..Not at full speed hamburger drills, but good solid contact drills with like players and team drills with set limits would help guys tackle better and RB'S learn to take hits better or better yet how and when to get down and avoid the possible big hit..

    This is what practice is all about learning and growing with the fam to prepare for the enemy ...
