In my younger years, so did I...Mikel LeShoure. At least for goal line carries. Give him a shot. 3.0 ypc in 2012 but most carries were goal line. He hits the hole hard

People refuse to put statistics in context. Nobody is going to keep running the ball against Peyton Manning, because you need quick points to even compete.
It was taking more than an "arm tackle" to bring Gray down. Go back and re-watch the game.Of course it's a combination, but a decent runner needs to make something out of a hole, not just get the minimum and go down with an arm tackle.
When you are 2"" smaller and 15 lbs lighter, than Vereen what would you realistically expect.How do you think Denver feels...sheesh, Hillman had 10 carries for 16 yards...against one of the bottom-of-the-barrel run defenses in the NFL.
And you need to realize that even when the Broncos aren't up 2-3 TDs, teams aren't getting a lot of yards rushing on them. Terence Knighton, Demarcus Ware, Von Miller, Derek Wolfe and Menelik Jackson are extremely stout. You are down-playing how good that group is.People refuse to put statistics in context.

Brandon Bolden is worse of a runner than James White.Reintegrate Brandon Bolden. (At least part time.)

jeezus krist....look, Jonas Gray ran hard today. He took VICIOUS hits with Broncos defenders ripping at the ball. He MAINTAINED possession every time. He busted an 8 yard run in the 4th quarter that broke Denver's back. In essence, he did what the team asked of him and the Pats WON 43 -21? How do you people NOT see this? Denver is number one at plugging the A and B gaps, their LB's are stellar at run defense...and until they got ripped apart by Brady today, they were upper echelon pass defense too. Gray provided the threat of a running game that opened the game up for their passing attack. I see other rookie running backs with high draft slots come in to games like this and STB, put the ball on the ground and put their teams in positions to LOSE the game. Gray is playing over Bolden because he has EARNED IT. Stop with this idiotic "grass is greener" syndrome BS.
Unless you possess an Offense equally awesome.

If you're saying i don't think that group is the best in the league against the run, you're right. They are the best statistically, because peyton puts up so many points.
FYI, Blout rushed 5 times for a whopping total of 6 yards in the AFC championship vs. Denver.
