The way to think about it is the line and the blocking and the scheme are responsible for the first three or four yards of a gain on a run play. And then from there on, it's the elusiveness of the running back. It's like a threshold system.

Where if I have a good enough line to get a running back out to three, four, five yards, now he's into the secondary and it's up to him to make defenders miss their tackles. And then you get these big explosive gains. So if you want to improve your running game, you don't go out and just get a great running back.

I would say start with the offensive line, make sure you're calling good plays, and then the cherry on top might be a star running back.

By holding out, he cut his career short, maybe not by a full year, but a lot of the perishability is just age-based, not necessarily wear and tear based. The effect can be very slight, but the next guy up who costs a fraction of what Le'Veon wants to be paid, like I would much rather pay a million dollars for 95% of what Le'Veon Bell is than pay $15 million for 100%.

I would have advised him to just take what he can get. It's outside of his control. I understand what he's trying to accomplish, but he's just up against reality. He's lucky to find the Jets. If there's one... foolish team out of 32 that's going to overpay you, then it only takes one.

The concept is intransitivity. There is no, like, one superior tactic here. It's circular. The other 31 teams are all chasing pass blockers and receivers and throwers and everything. And there's a whole bunch of run blockers and running backs left on the table. There's inefficiencies like I'm going to go grab them and I'm going to be the best running team they've ever seen.

And they're going to be unprepared for us. And that's going to be pretty effective. But only one or two teams can get away with that.
