ETN too often runs to a hole and doesn't care about waiting for a play/hole to develop.   It's poor running.

The top RBs in the league have good hole vision.  ETN does not.

The O-Line rush blocking is fine.  

It's hard to find yards when you have all your WRs are close to the O-Line, thus allowing the entire front of the defense to be within the box and then run it up the middle the vast majority of the time.

ETN's run plays are designed for him to go straight up the middle between center and guard or between guard and tackle..  That's what they are calling him to do.  And, when you have the entire WR and TE corps all lined up right next to the Line, there's really no where else to go but straight...  You can't bounce it to the outside without risking losing yards.

It's the play design that's killing the yardage.  It's not the O-Line and it's absolutely not ETN.  It's the play calling.  We're basically running ETN into the ground.  Poor guy isn't going to make it into a 2nd contract cuz all we do is throw him into the meat grinder on every one of his rushes.
