Wise-ass Devil's advocate here.
I do seem to recall the player generally considered to be the #1 running back in the nation watching a certain 4th and a long yard play from the sidelines, so a guy that had too much Christmas dinner could get the ball. Of course that wasn't in the red zone.

Sutton, Slaton, Wolfe = products of their systems.
I'd certainly take Pittman over half that list, regardless of how often he was used in the redzone early last season.  |

Anyone else remember how close we were to landing Mr. Bush? I'd still love to have him, the kid's an absolute freak. Then we wouldn't have to argue about not having the #2 RB in the country

he didn't want to play RB, so he went to Louisville to play QB and did not get his wish. If he would have known how that was going to play out, I believe we might have snagged him.

actually I seem to recall the same #1 guy being removed many times in the red zone, so much so that the hungry one put up some amazing TD totals in just 3 years | |
