I know its one cut and go, but what made the Denver RBs so good and then fail miserably when they went to a different team?

I think Marshawn Lynch is the zone blocking running back.

Vision is a big time distinguishing feature.

Other than that, Denver's OL has been awesome and consistently had the same starters. It's more the OL than the backs.

zbs rb= a less talented running back that can be found in later rounds of the draft that are products of the system

That is all. :)

I haven't loved the ZBS since Philbin left Iowa. Of course, his final squad had Gallery at tackle, Steinbach at guard, and Nelson at C (1st rounder or early second that got seriously injured).

Now, if the Packers can just get Steinbach and Gallery to be our guards, I might like the system again.

I am serious about Gallery though. I'd love to put that guy at guard in our zbs, and let him move out in case of injury, if the Raiders ever get fed up.
