After he was injured they reverted back to the spread inside power run runs and it was his volume because they had no one else that pushed his stats. 


With no player on the roster to block in space or open up the edges the C & D gaps it limits the types of runs the can use. Whip out all those T and GT Counters with no 7 man blocking surface. 

Yes, I agree. It's different when you have a naturally athletic TE that not only embraces blocking, but absolutely excels at it. For example, Drew Sample is a good blocker, but he can't pull off the wham nearly as smoothly and efficiently as a guy like All. Given a full healthy season, I feel like All could also show his value as an intermediate level receiving TE as well. As it is now, we're just hoping that he recovers well enough to even be able to play football again.
