'No doubt about it,' Redskins need to upgrade at running back

INDIANAPOLIS -- Doug Williams was blunt about his thoughts on the Washington Redskins' running back position.

“We need to upgrade at running back, ain’t no doubt about it,” the Redskins’ senior vice president of player personnel said. “Nobody is gonna sit here and sugarcoat the fact that we had a good running game. We averaged about 1.4 yards per carry. To say we’re good with the running backs would not be fair to the team.”

It shouldn’t have been a secret before Williams spoke those words at the combine that Washington wanted to upgrade at the position.
