No run blocking = No running. Simple as that. You people downing the RB's for not getting yards are hilarious!
Gilleslee didnt show anything during preseason. Not that Thomas is a world beater, but Im not sure Gilleslee is an upgrade over Thomas.

Well, to be fair, related article or not. Daniel Thomas' career isn't far from being done. The guy is horrendous. I've never seen a running back so consistent at picking up 1 yard on 1st and 10 & no yards on 3rd and 1.
Let's not forget he and Gary never got the benefit of running behind the 1st string O-line. Honestly, the only kinda back that could make a difference at this points is:
1) A back that is strong and can break tackles, particularly arm tackles (See R.Williams)
2) One that is extremely shifty with the ability to make folks miss. Set them up one way and cut back or whatever the other way(See. R Bush)
Interestingly, both are skill sets neither of our backs possess. Although, having watched him play at Florida I would say Gillislee has more of the shiftiness than either of our current starters.
