Right, the QB injuries that result from designed runs are what annoy me. If it happens in the pocket, it's unfortunate, but part of the game.
it annoys me when the play caller puts the most important player in all of sports (QB) at risk when they don't have to, you know? I understand running here and there - there is a time and place, but you have RUNNING BACKS for a reason. Lol
i love how Brock has enough athleticism to generate scrambles that make off schedule plays. I think Lance has a great physical skill set to help him when it comes to the passing game by the way he can move around and avoid players - but I don't like running him like a full back. I actually think Lance should of passed a lot more, whether he was good at it or not, because his athleticism would of helped bail him out of messed up pass plays. Does that make sense?
Yes it makes sense…we need to stop agreeing on things, it doesn't feel right lol.
I said that before he even got hurt last year, I wanted Kyle to draw up the run plays for him only for critical key downs/goal line situations and let him pass more where his scrambling can be an asset.
Unfortunately part of the issue could've been Kyle not only not trusting Trey(assuming that was even the case) but also the RBs we had. Not too crazy a stretch but the two games he was used way more as a RB Mitchell was either beat up(ribs) or injured early.
We have too much talent where Trey shouldn't have to be the main runner. Even on read options could simply fake it but hand it to the RB/Deebo regardless. It clearly works as we saw in the Seahawks game when Deebo broke one. Gotta protect the QB, risk reward has to be in play.
LMAO I know. I'm waiting for your "what the eff are you talking about" hahaha we are just passionate about the team. I just view it as we want the same thing but both have differing views on certain things, no big deal.
yeah, I think Lance can do very well in short yardage for a first down/touchdown. He has that physicalness to him where he can plow through. I think a big issue with him running is that he's too physical, it's what he's always done. That just doesn't fly in the NFL. I think He needs to get better at protecting himself.
Mitchell has been super unreliable health wise. He's awesome when healthy but it's been rare since his rookie season. He also isn't as versatile as CMC, so I think it limits kyles playcalling when he is in.
i was always surprised how often Trey ran it on play options Vs throwing it. Idk if that is him or the play call, but I felt like he should of passed it more. It became strange where he would pass, because he typically ran it. I've always viewed his running ability to be a threat to open more passing lanes so he could throw it better, but Kyle/Lance seemed to overly rely on his running ability, which I think was a mistake. Treys threat to run should make defenders hesitate, opening passing lanes, but that was never taken advantage of. Maybe it's because he never really got his run game going. It's like the defense didn't believe he would throw it, I'm not sure though.
i really chalk a lot of it up to his inexperience. Trey is super super inexperienced. So it's hard to play fast when you're experiencing things for the first time. I think Brock had that advantage, it's why he has such a smooth transition. Trey really just needs a ton of reps. I've said it before, I think he needs a good 2 seasons of reps before you can see him develop. He belongs in the league but this is a tough situation for him because of the expectations of this team right now.
