I know its unlikely but in football with single elimination anything is possible. What IF the Vikings win the SB? Will a bunch of teams go back to heavy running attacks?

No. Almost nobody has a back that can both carry the load AND be a big play threat and even if you have one, if he gets hurt (which is likely during the season), you can't duplicate that production.

Interesting idea but you have to have THAT guy.

A guy that teams have to gameplan against and that other teams fear

there's plenty of teams with heavy running attacks still. just need a nasty defense to go along with it.

seattle did it a couple years back. carolina's doing it right now.

RB position as a whole will need to adapt to a style of taking less hits and being more elusive b/c the RB self life is so short.

This dude is incredible. This cat has morphed into a new style of runner. He's not breaking as many tackles as he used to..as a matter of fact, he's only ninth in the NFL in yards after first contact, where he's usually in the top 3. But what he is doing now is using his elusiveness a lot more than being a bully like he once was. He's in the top three in the NFL in making players miss. Dude is jump cutting like a mad man right now, looking like Ladamlian Tomlinson.

Just :wow:
This is real shyt. AD is actually shying away from contact unless absolutely Necessary. He stepping out of bounds more and his lateral cutting is just disgusting right now.
