What I am hoping for, with Solari teaching a new blocking scheme and technique I look for our RB's not taking so many awkward hits from guys penetrating, all and I mean all of our RB's have taken awkward hits from the side in the backfield and then get rolled up on or pancaked with people holding on to their legs. Rawls, Lynch, Carson, Davis, Prosise, we can go on. When your anchored with a 300 plus pounder to the ground and another or two or more hit your body and twist and or bend you taking you to the ground physics take over and the stress on the part of the body that the pressure is most severe is going to break or tear.
A lane where the RB can run and then get tackled in a more traditional fashion should help with our weird injury history at RB.
The Running backs we have could end up being a windfall of plenty if the above happens, throwing Penny into that mix it could be something to behold. Granted I am a fan of the bell cow back guy but if we use a committee approach we appear to have the horses and all of them have a bit of a different style while still being physical except McKissic who tries but just doesn't have that kind of mass to challenge Linebackers, and Prosise who doesn't appear natural at putting his shoulder down, that may change based on what I read about his off season conditioning and reshaping his body.
