Didn't have "explosive runs" because the offensive line rarely allowed the RB's to get to the next level unscathed. The long runs we had were due to the RB's ability to shake a tackle at the line and pop it outside. I would argue that Pickens was an excellent blocker, very physical, and so was Cager (when healthy).
You bring in receivers who can catch the ball(why they're called receivers), blocking can be coached to some degree, but imagine not playing Jamar Chase because he wasn't a good blocker. A blocking wide receiver may help spring a runner for a few more yards on occasion(how many times over the course of a year?), which is a good thing, but I certainly would rather have a guy who I could throw to 7-8 times a game and know he's going to catch it and perhaps he will break one, and not my RB. I'll live with that guy.
If a receiver can do both well then great. How many big plays did Stanley or Simmons ever make by catching a pass. Not many. It's why teams put 8 in the box against us. No team feared our receivers.
