I don't think the coaches are being too picky by emphasizing blocking ability.  How many times did we see a play start, see the blitzing backer find a gap and then he'd just disappear, cut down by Taylor?  If Barry Sanders can't do that, but Gaffney, Wright, Seal, Christian McCaffrey et al can, that's a very good reason to give them the carries.
