I took a look at Bobby Rainey's stats and if you take away the long run he averaged 4 YPC same as Leonard . Black running backs seem to find ways to throw in a long run at some point in the game to make average or bad running performances end up looking good or respectable overall. Adrian Peterson seems to do that all the time. The days of coaches appreciating John Riggins type of performances in which he would wear down the opposing defense, eat up the clock, with 3 -5 yard runs without a big run are long gone.
The despicable Dan Dingleberrydorf just said that former track star Brian Hartline "isn't a threat to run by anybody."

Bad situation for ponder in minnesota. He just opened the door for freeman to get another look or worst another drafted black quarterback.
Well I cant believe my eyes! Welker got a pass interference call in his favor. I honestly cant remember the last time I saw the most interfered with WR in football get a call.
