One back injured a lot… injury prone. Two backs injured a lot.… possibly two injury prone backs. ALL the backs hurt multiple times throughout the season.

Time to start looking at the strength and conditioning. Or in my honest opinion , it's the offensive line. Do we actually have the 4 most fragile backs in the NFL? or are they hitting a brick wall at the line of scrimmage?

There are backs that run harder and do not get hurt. There are backs that run twice as much that do not get hurt.

Add to that Drew being hurt part of the season, and everyone behind center was injured last season.

Maybe PJ Hill's injury was worse than thought? Or he's not recovering properly? I have a feeling we could see him back though....

I think our line is overrated and has been dating all the way back to Aaron Brooks, both passing AND run blocking.

I agree with that. Frankly I think they have a mental thing of, IF THEY DECIDE TO SHOW UP they are really really good, but if they take the play or the game or the whole week of practice "off," then they kinda suck and can look very average, even mediocre. I think they CAN be a Pro Bowl caliber line, when they are ON. And this can vary week to week, day to day, or even different parts in the same game. This past year, they were generally not on.
