Whether a team can effectively operate a power run game depends as much on the strengths of the OL as the RB. In fact, running Power is explicitly about blocking assignments.
Nobody speculating about what kind of running game we should run seems to say anything about the strengths of the OL.

For a power run game to be successful, your back needs to be able to take a beating.  There's no two ways about it.  Even the best OL can only do so much.  I'm not doubting that Christian is a tough kid who can grind out the tough yards, but he's not exactly built to do it play after play for 13-14 (hopefully 15  ;D) games.  He's much more Reggie Bush than he is LenDale White.
