Well, at least he did it in style. Good for Rob. He was a fine back for us, even if he feels like he was under-utilized by P&D.

He was, that's part of the reason none of those teams ever won 10 games.

Very strange. You'd think those 2 meatheads would have gotten full use of an elite RB.

Elite blocker yes. Always felt like he was too easy to bring down for a guy his size.

He had a game against BC where he had 4 consecutive TDS to win the game for them all good distances, 2 running and 2 passing.
Outside of him blocking on the option the rest of the lockers were OK but not great. Big people need to carry the ball to be comfortable.

Hard to know. He rarely took a handoff with a lead blocker in front of him. When they did do it, it was every now and then, so he couldn't get a rhythm. Having said that, I don't know that he ran behind his pads as well as he could have. He seemed to bend forward at the hips instead of bending his knees and dropping his center of gravity. When he did get to the second level, though, he was a load to bring down for a DB and he was fast enough to outrun most of them.

Averaging 5.1 ypc while getting most of your carries on FB dives is pretty impressive.
