I wonder on the running game, how much losing Akers hurt. When we had Gurley, McVay ran the ball a lot more. That was partially because pre-injury Gurley was a beast so why not run more, but maybe he just doesn't have that same patience with our current crop of RBs.
I do wonder if we would be better sometimes with a few less big names and a few really physical guys in the middle.
The other weird thing, why all the penalties last few weeks?
