[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1031304, member: 17953"] I think one thing that we fail to recognize when it comes to how they've deployed Dillon is that his running game is between the tackles, and until last year, they were able to count on him getting those two-yard runs consistently to move the chains on third down. That often skews the YPG for a player. As an example, look at the career of Eddie George with the Titans. He only had two years where he got to 4.0 YPG. He spent a career in the 3s. Yet, he made it into the HOF because he did get those yards when his team needed it, for the first downs. "If" the Packers effectively use Dillon, as an H-back, and the guy who can get those smash mouth yards when needed, they have a dangerous weapon in him. He has the leg strength to be that guy, and if he can effectively leverage his blocking, he could be valuable in so many ways. I'm not saying he's on the way to the HOF, but I'm saying his game could be an effective weapon. You just need to harness, and explore ways that athletes with certain skills can benefit your team. I think Dillon has that qualification. About Eddie George. The famous "3 yards and a cloud of dust" running back, who would have made Woody Hayes proud.
