[QUOTE="NodakPaul, post: 225029, member: 1127"] I can't disagree... that game pissed me off as a fan. But I kind of understand the reported ideas behind it. There was a legitimate concern about overusing AD during the season and him hitting the rookie wall. We didn't want to lose his performance in the stretch, when we needed it the most, so AD was not utilized as much last year as he would be this year. The other reason that I am aware of was that AD, simply put, sucked at pass blocking. He was horrible at it. SO he was very, very rarely put in on passing plays. Ideally, neither of these issues will exist this year. He is in his second year, so the transition from a 10 or 12 game college season to a full 20+ game NFL season won't be an issue. And pass blocking is something that normally takes a year or so for a RB to pick up on in the NFL. [/QUOTE]
