Well KK started running more after initial failure - even if it is Murray - who has held up only broken once each year. Conner could be great as a bell cow, definitely need a functioning rush attack to open up the 3 dimensional offense with r/p option and play action. But is right come the playoffs - need a real run game as a primary weapon to rest defense, oline, run game+ offensive coordinator- oh poo we ain’t got those last two, hence Houston we have a problem.

Conner is NOT a bell-cow back.

Positions like CB & OLB are bigger concerns but yet somehow the damn RB position is still getting talked about the most lol

i think most people agree that CB is kind of a lost cause at this point. and is OLB really that big of a concern this season? It's average at best with Jones and What's His Face, with upside if Jones is back to being Jones.

This is how you get yards after contact.

Yea.

One guy was coming off a horrific start before a season ending injury & while the other stayed healthy last year, we still have to be worried about his durability. Both are in their 30s while the other OLB is not known for his athleticism & another coming off a torn ACL late last season.

If CB won’t be out 1st pick next season, OLB should be the alternate.

Quoting an unnamed scout? The media is terrible and people eat it up.
Just something to pass the time until we can get serious. I’m not sure if he’s a bell cow but I expect him to have a productive year. He was a good signing at that price.
