Granted, most of his runs were in a situation where run was expected, but that makes my point. He can NOT run the ball when run is expected (except against the Titans in garbage time I guess).  Furthermore, I am certain that we would not have won the Super Bowl in 2010 had he not been out for the season (see James Starks game-closing runs in the NFC Champ game). Yet still, McCarthy loves him, Collinsworth and every other announcer loves him and hails him as this great back. He NEVER was a great running back. Nothing against him personally - he seems to be a great team player, and he seems to fill other roles such as a receiving back, non-running downs, or blocking well, but when we need someone to get tough yards, he can't do it, he never could do it. This goes back, way back to the Favre days even - the 2007 NFC championship game was an example of how our run game was non-existent when we really needed it bad. So all I can conclude is that Ryan Grant is a hypnotist - but he can't get through to me. Harris, on the other hand . . .</blockquote>
