You can also run the football to keep the defense honest which is important and of course in cold or windy weather where passing becomes difficult.
But it's the passing game that wins games. The day of the bell cow RB is over. Most teams now use 2 or more RBs to spread out the load. The teams
that use a RB for 300 attempts per year will burn the player out in 5 or less years. Thus RBs are not coveted.
Ekeler is now 30 years old, that's when RBs start to go downhill. He's also on his last contract here. So we best look for a replacement and complement
to Kelly.
