The design of our current offense with many of the formations we run puts fewer bodies in the box versus what we ran back then. Also, traditionally where the FB lines up closer to the LOS he had less room to build momentum and read holes than where our RBs line up now. And a fair number of our runs come off the zone read where if the the qb reads it correctly the RB should have more room. The way we often ran Konrad was as a change up to keep the LBs honest so that wouldn't cheat to the perimeter against the QB or HB parts of the triple option. He didn't get on the outside all of the time. They did it with him occasionally. If it was all the time, he would not have been third in carries every year of his career.

Do you honestly think he would not have more space to run in this offense than he did running as a traditional FB?

Anytime you interpret something as a criticism of P or D from that era, something I wasn't doing, you can't help yourself from jumping to defend them. I was only talking about the design of offenses from different eras and how certain players may have benefited from it.
