Many quickly forget that Grant is the king of racking up huge yardage in blowout games when we give him 25- 30 carries, with 15-20 all when running the clock out in a blowout.In 4 games alone last season, STL, SF, CLE, and DET, grant racked up 98 of his 282 touches (34%)and gained:466 of his 1253 yds (37%)Thats in 25 % of his games, almost all blowouts, almost all horrid Defenses. Put him against a decent line and he falls down the board. These numbers are really just the tip of the iceberg, and just about anyone who has watched him run over the last 2 seasons can tell he is adequate at best. Not a premiere back, sorry. While I think he would be OK with a bruiser back there to wear down a D, as a lead back, he lacks the awareness to hit a hole on 1 cut (please someone argue that he his, I think we all have at least one headsmack memory of him plowing into Colledge or Stitton when trying to find the hole) and he lacks the power to burst through defenders at the line. His speed to the edge is so-so.Sorry, just not convinced he can be "the guy" to build around.</blockquote>
