I think the biggest difference with the running game today was that they deviated more than they have in a long time from the zone blocking scheme. They ran it more to the outside and even had interior linemen pulling on the TD run by Grant. They also had a few good runs between the tackles by using delayed handoffs. Spread formations also helped. Maybe the coaches are learning to use the talent they have instead of forcing the players into a strict system.
Also, Ryan Grant is good and is gaining confidence. I like what Scott Wells said about him:
“It makes it a little easier to block when you have a back that’s (a) downhill (runner),” center Scott Wells said. “He makes one cut and hits the hole. If he has to, he’ll bury his head and go get a yard or two. It makes our job easier that way. We don’t have to worry about him dancing around and guys falling off of us on our blocks. I like his style.”
