The problem when Bo got hurt is we didn't have another power back. As already mentioned Harris/Jacobs are smaller/shiftier backs that are awesome when they get a hole but pretty ineffective when they have no room.
Harris is a power back, and he isn't small. He broke a ton of tackles last year. So did Jacobs really.

That's a big IF though.
Not really. He did just that in quite a few games last season. He definitely needs to improve, but I think there is reason to be optimistic.

Nah, not really. He may develop into one but his broken tackles last year were second and third level because of good vision and moves. He wasn't trucking DEs at the LOS like Henry and Bo could. I like Harris and he's a fine back, my point is we need another bruiser in the mold of Henry/Bo/Lacy/Richardson who were all in the 230-240 lb range.
