Nassib managed the game well but I am a little perplexed about our running backs - perhaps most of you don't see it the way I'm seeing it and that's okay, but I have do want to voice this.
 
Outside of AB, and perhaps Gulley at times, I don't see Smith or Moore showing the ability to break tackles. Broyld has that uncanny ability to wiggle his way forward, through tackles and masses of defensive players. Smith, and in particular Moore, seem to drop at the first defensive player hitting them. Honestly, it seems like they fall like a ton of bricks.
 
Now, having said that, Smith had a monster game and I love the sweeps he ran where he just seemed confident in his ability to round the corner and power his way down the field. Love it. Moore, however, as much as he weighs and is supposed to be the treat in the "tank formation" seems to not have momentum going forward.
 
Is it just me that sees this? If so, then I'll shut up. But Broyld impressed me with his 'slipperyness" running the ball, he definitely has something that the other backs haven't shown yet, except Gulley at times.
 
So ... should I shut up or am I making a valid observation? (I'll accept either because I know I'm being critical here but submit myself to the football gurus here).
