[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 198750, member: 195"] Mostly it's Ryan Grant. He would've made an impact a few games earlier, but he fumbled late in game 4 at Minnesota and because of that he was not given a carry for the next two or three games. Also, the blocking has been a little better. And I think they deviated a bit more from the zone blocking scheme in the second half of the season, which has made them more able to take advantage of opponents' weaknesses. I think our running game is good now, but not as good as it looks on paper. There have only been a few games where we gained yards consistently. Usually Grant has had a handful of long runs and a lot that are 2 yards or less. So we don't yet have a consistent move-the-chains, kill-the-clock type of running game. But we're getting closer to that. At the beginning of the season if you had told someone that the Packers and Ryant Grant would have a better running game than the Seahawks and Shaun Alexander, they would have said you were crazy. (But first they would have asked who the heck Ryant Grant is.) [/QUOTE]
