** We should be able to reach a consensus that the next person to suggest Barry Sanders is the answer to our running-game woes will be horsewhipped, naked, a lunchtime in White Plaza. Six carries, two yards.

Frankly, I don't think it much matters.  We need a different kind of running back to regain consistency in our offense.  But Sanders' stats are as good as the others on the year.  They all have respectable averages, but none of them is what we need to run the style of offense that we are used to.
