Really, the jet sweeps looked like that too…like the play had already gained yardage before it could even be diagnosed. Not sure that can happen every week, but it looked well planned. Also plenty of Stanley Morgan blocks on the edge to spring 5 yard gains to 8-12 yards
Absolutely. The "key" over the past weeks was NOT getting what seemed like a lazy, apathetic, selfish RB who was not patient and lacked vision in hitting the hole more carries. I'd also guess any player that read enough hate mail about them and how washed up they are, etc. might take a hard look in the mirror and reflect. I also liked the fact that they actually got Perrine touches early in the game. Totally different runner than Mixon.
Every guy on that OL and skill player was also getting a helmet on a defender and a few guys multiple helmets at the second level, 5-10 yards downfield.
