Jacobs at 4.4 per carry is a little low. Now as his workload increases naturally a RB’s per carry will level off some. However if we had a Top 10 Run Blocking OL, I think Jacobs Rushes 250-275 times for 4.8–5.3 yards per carry and slightly tops his 2024 yards but with 25-50 less carries.No one can tell me that Saquon Barkley just went from around 4.0 per carry in his last 700 carries (pre-Eagles) to 5.8 per carry because of himself.  Sure RB’s fluctuate but not by near 2 yards per carry. Blocking is crucial to a RB’s success. I think Jacobs is capable of 5+ per carry IF he has help. As in a Top 10 Run Blocking OL. It doesn’t need to be #1 but it sure can’t be #22 or whatever we were. That’s why I say Elgton Jenkins better be careful because the Packers just might scrape their $13mil Cap savings now and stick Morgan at RG and slide Sean Rhyan to Center.  We’d have our backup Tackle with Belton or Morgan and our Backup C/Guard with Monk. Plus we’d have $13mil more reasons to go add another Veteran at either DT or CB or just lock down both Quay and Tom now.  Let’s reward the players who want to be here and possibly add 1 more veteran upgrade at a needed position.</blockquote>
