Special contributor Bob Sturm answered questions in a chat Thursday. Here are some highlights.
Question: How much impact would the lack of a signature threat in the backfield have on Dez and the even more focused attention he’ll draw?
Bob Sturm: It is tough to give Dez more attention than he normally gets, but you are right, he helped the run game and the run game helped him. Balance is vital in this offense so this is a story-line worth following. That said, a running game doesn’t need an impressive name as much as it needs an effective result.
