Fred's post above is spot on too though. I'd like to see us blow the opposing line off the ball a little better at times; ideally all of the time, but especially in short yardage.
I think as Carman grows as a player and Hopkins heals we will get better in short yardage running situations but we also need
to stop doing the QB sneak if it isn't working at all. Hopkins hasn't been 100% and that hurts when a big NT is in his face on
short yardage. We can break some runs now that Carman is coming into his own and teams fear the pass as you said.
I think the big running is yet to come, but we don't have Evans this weekend. He is out with a hammy so it will be on Mixon,
Perine and Trayveon to get some chunk plays in the running game.
