I like to think RB won't drop off as much

Number of touchdowns? Sure, that will drop. We won't be running back 60-yarders as much.

But... there's an offset I think is underappreciated: first down yardage. Aneyas was a pretty reliable third-down back and our OL should be significantly improved.

Might see a lot more 20 yard runs to offset the long TD explosives.
