It's been a long time since those 6 but I find merit in looking at what is different from the 5 championship teams and the previous 3. Among other common denominators is RB who are factors in the passing game. Craig, Rathman, Waters, Flyod...enormous part of those offenses. Yes, Craig and Waters were unique receiving talents that don't come along everyday but Rathman caught a ridiculous number of balls in '89 for a FB. Floyd caught his share too...those skills were developed over time. And we're just fortunate enough to have one of those guys on our staff right now!
2nd and 6 is dream for us when our running game is giving us 2nd and 9. It gets a young QB in a rhythm and gives some confidence. Would I be surprised if LMJ moved onto another team and caught 50 balls? No way. Lattimore caught a few balls in college. Hunter is capable.
If we are going to have a new OC, I would love to have backs involved.
