“(and defense for that matter).”

Philly’s goal line defense has been one of the best in the NFL for the past few years. Last year especially, but two years ago versus the 49ers, the Eagles held the 49ers out of the end zone from the 1 yard line for like 7 plays over 2 series. One series ended with a fumble returned for a touchdown – from the 1 yard line.

“he finally picks up a big power back and can’t figure out how to use him.”

Because Hunt’s not a great power back. He’s not strong enough to drag a LB/DL forward a few inches, and he doesn’t have a lot of advantage as a RB, either, as he doesn’t have great lateral quickness.

Hunt’s biggest problem is that he’s not strong enough to be a fullback, and he’s not fast enough to be a running back. If his blocking would’ve improved (which it didn’t) he would’ve been a great fullback, as his skills as a receiver are pretty darn good. I thought he was worth keeping at FB, but his blocking almost seemed to get worse.

But probably Hunt’s biggest problem was that he couldn’t stay healthy. That, you can’t blame on ’Reid’s run-phobic offense.’
