Quote:Welcome to the board, Shaun. We all share your frustration of our team not being able to run the ball, but that problem was not caused by Toby Gerhart's ankle injury. A zone blocking scheme that does not work well for Toby and lack of talent on the offensive line caused our inability to run. Denard Robinson and Jordan Todman were not any better on two healthy feet than Toby was with a bad foot. A running back is only as good as his offensive line.


Something else to keep in mind is so far he has only missed one practice. Sometimes players with nagging injuries take one day off and practice Thursday and Friday so we could see that happen. I hope that is what they are doing with him.


One last thing: Every week I start an injury report thread for all news and notes about players missing or being limited in practices, being cleared to practice or play, etc. I do that to consolidate all injury reports so we don't have multiple threads about the same injury going around. But since you are new I will give you a pass this time.
