Look at the video Joe Goodberry posted of Mim’s snaps. Chase B is…

[Whatever]

what you are saying here. I am not ready to give up on him just because of 3 poor runs either, he has had good vision in the past. He can
improve in these areas especially after watching film and the OL giving him crap for it.

Second was a counter I wish Chase pressed it a little more inside but that's nitpicky Sample has to hold that block better.

Third Carry he does hesitate before hitting the moving A gap in the zone run.

Fourth was a pin and pull outside he was supposed to follow the TE through the hole between the tackle and the pulling LG but this is the "Volson may have tipped the defense" pull play. You can see the Mike sit right behind rhe edge that takes on Volson so the TE can't get a clean block and creates a mess right where the play is supposed to go lol.

Fifth run is another Duo Brown definitely gets way too impatient and tries to bounce it and there is no bounce lanes in duo.

So, a couple issues with the first play.  I can buy giving him the benefit of the doubt regarding drawing the Mike so he jumps cut if he doesn't do the same thing on the same play call later in the drive.  Also, that doesn't make much sense situationally.  It's 3rd and 1 against 9 in the box.   That's a situation where you want to hit the LoS with forward momentum to try and get the first, not jump cut and kill your momentum and risk getting hit in the backfield by early penetration.  He also doesn't make an attempt to shift the ball from his left to his right, which he would logically do if that was his plan, although he may have forgone that because he was holding it in both hands.  And lastly, he doesn't really jump cut.  

The designed hole does get clogged on the fourth carry, but there's a wide open cut back lane that he just misses and instead tries to bounce it.  I mean, 9 out of 10 NFL quality RB's see that and cut and go.  

Four and Five are especially bad, simply because he's turning plays that should at least be positive plays that keep the offense on schedule into negative plays that force us into 2nd and 3rd and long.  For example, #4 put us in Third and 12 when if he makes that cut, it's probably 1st and Goal or 3rd and short.  I mean, the reason you're running the ball is to keep out of obvious passing downs.  

Unfortunately, this is the same stuff I saw out of him last year.  He makes an occasional splash play and then leaves a ton of yardage on the field with terrible vision and decision making.  Personally, we need to look long and hard at adding another back via trade or the waiver wire, because it isn't like Williams or Evans are worth anything to the offense.
