Just went through and checked, excluding goal to go situations, he ran for less than 2 yards 8 times against the Raiders

They need to use Perine a little more so they don't wear out Kareem....and I don't trust Steele at all anymore.

Unfortunately I think that horse may have already left the barn. We've been watching Hunt getting beat to shit in real time. They need to drastically reduce his workload and let the poor guy get some rest, especially considering we're already past our bye this year.

I sometimes wonder if they are going to ride him hard until Pacheco gets back...I would like to see a healthy backfield of Pacheco, Hunt and Perine at the end of the year.

Wear out the defensive line all game in the playoffs.

If they aren't going to get Perine more involved in the rushing game then CEH needs to buck up and tag in for a few games, at least until Pacheco is back.

Yeah, just make CEH active for sure.

There was a RB who once said.... if you need 1 yard, I'll get you 3. If you need 5 yards, I'll get you 3.

He's the living embodiment of my hypothetical "how valuable is a guy that only ever gets you 1 yard, nothing more and nothing less, on every single carry" question.

I've always said that guy should be a 1st round pick because 2nd and 3 is a 1st down every time. Or 1st and goal from inside the 5 is a TD.

I poo poo the running game almost every chance I get but have always believed that short yardage running is HUGELY valuable. And man oh man does he do that well.

And credit is due to the OL as well. That interior is getting good push that allows him to take that little beat before hitting the seam. If that's not there for him, he gets swallowed up in the backfield when he tries to set up a block.
