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.

which raises the question of if we are so committed and dependent on a big physical running back to make our offense go why have we not been able to recruit a couple of them (did we really expect Seale or Wright to be the next big back?)?  Why do we keep recruiting smaller and quicker backs (e.g. Young, Sanders) who are a poor fit for our offense?
