We have by far the best RB in Reynolds last season but Burratto for some reason would rather pass more even when Hank is struggling. I think Akili Smith will be a good capable backup. He is more suited to CFL than the NFL.

Totally agree, Buratto had him looking deep to often without a safty valve last year ... especially in the first 5 or 6 games of the year.
His first look shoud be 10 yds downfield, run second. Once the defence tightens up on the line then he can go yard.
My other concern with him is how devoted he is to football. I know they brought in Akili very much because the team is concerned about his committment. He can be a real alternative that should push him to focus.
