They do, but I think the topic at hand was specifically your RB production

Thats fine man. One other interesting thing about the loss of Josey/inserting of Kendial Lawrence in the SEC is this: by all coaching staff accounts, and from what we have seen through his career, Josey has always been an explosive runner but what was really keeping him back on third string before injuries gave him a chance to start and become a superstar was his blocking - he was not as physical, skilled or adept in pass/run protection and blocking generally as our other RBs including Kendial Lawrence. Now, if the hype of SEC front lines and defenses is to be believed, and I do believe it, then its an interesting question as to whether having better blocking and more physicality of some kind at that spot is just as important as the explosiveness Josey offered when you dialed his number on plays. Because if having Josey in there would mean that our QB would wind up on his arse all the time whenever we called passing plays to DGB and TJ Moe etc, then that kinda takes away some of the things you gain by his explosive runs. Interesting question and one that is difficult to substantively answer, but it could be a factor. And mind you Kendial Lawrence isn't the greatest blocker in the world or anything either, he was just supposed to be better at it than Josey from what coaches have said.
