If they go from formations that could mean run or pass, and he passes well, teams will sell out to cover the pass. Then, the rushing attack gets the benefit of Andy's proliferation in the passing game.
Good point, but I mean it more as that he isn't a Cam Newton, follow a FB-type runner. Also, I think Ross's presence will have a more profound effect. Heck, even Cody Core in week 17 had Baltimore's safeties back off the LOS...and guess what? Burkhead had the best game of his career, and Core had a nice day as well. That was with no Eifert and no AJ Green.
I just love thinking about what they could be like when they are all together.
