And Allgeier was running for almost 28 carries a game and 130 yards a game. That is the kind of production ARod needs for his offense to work. Our QB cannot be the leading rusher halfway through the season and the #2 rusher at seasons end.
70 yards a game is not going to cut it. LJ would be a good 2nd back, relief back, he is not an RB1 back at the P4 level.
I highly, very highly doubt that ARod is leaving... and thus he needs a better RB1. It would make such a significant difference for Jake.
