"We miss Tyson Lee more than Dixon"
That may be a quote you never live down
Mullen's not stupid, maybe we're not using the RB's as much b/c he sees practice every day and thinks that's not our best option. We ran the ball alot last year and did well when we had a great RB, we're not running it as much this year w/ the RB's. It's a pretty simple conclusion to me, we miss having a great RB.
Initially I think Coach thought that since we'd always had a good RB, that we'd continue to, but that's not necessarily the case. Not only do we not have anyone as good as Dixon, but we don't have anyone as good as Dixon, Norwood, Dicenzo, JJ, Keefer, etc...
