I stated before I believe in certain games he has been underused as a WR but not all the time..., and as i posted above we are using him well over the last 6 games in running, he is 6th in NFL in carries. Finally I would prefer he not take himself out as much either... a trend I see too much across the league. My man Walter Payton is rolling in his grave watching these RBs take themselves out so much
College is not the Pros you are correct which gives him even more room to grow in these aspects.
Cannot miss those blocks that is for sure, but this is also a place where he can grow and he was the best at blitz
pickup in his draft. He will get better. Pretty amazing he has that many carries as much as we have been down
but this is another reason to use him more in the passing game, he has great hands and is harder to tackle than
the Receivers and Gio, he can run through, around or over people.
Agreed on the RB's taking them out of the game WAY too much. Don't like this either.
