I disagree. The point is to make first downs. Gaining zero yards or losing three running wide hampers that effort. Gaining 3-4 yards per rush helps that effort. Of course everyone wants to see a 70 yeard TD run. But long runs of any kind have been pretty few and far between, even from Harris. Thus, somone who can pick up positive yards and help keep the chains moving is of value.
The question is which back do you want if you need 4 yards.
All the more reason why median yards per carry and percent carries over 4 or 5 yards would be a better stat.
I don't know what games some of you are watching. BP plays hard so you don't want to criticize him, but he and Harris aren't on the same level. Harris isn't just more likely to make a big run, he's less likely to take a loss.
But the biggest differences are in pass protection and the way defenses play us. Even when he wasn't necessarily producing a lot of yards, defenses respected our running game when Harris was in -- it hasn't been the same since he got injured.
Jesus Effin' Christ!... Bp just ran for 130 yards and 2 TD's on 20 attempts against the 9th ranked team in the Country!
Show the "senior" some damn r-e-s-p-e-c-t! Forget about Harris this year! It's not happening!!! Let's hope we can go into next year with two healthy RB's.

BP is having a great season and is playing his tail off. And I respect everything he is doing and how he is playing. Doesn't mean that Josh still isn't the best back on the team when healthy.
