I am all for using the spread offense, BUT I sure wish Sing/Raye would look at how Walsh used Craig in the passing game out of a traditional offensive formation. When not in the spread, Gore could be a terror as a receiver out of the back field. When Craig played, a linebacker or safety had to account for him coming out of the backfield on every pass play. I'd love to see Gore one on one with C.B.'s/safeties in space. He would kick their butts! Gore could get as much yardage receiving as rushing in many games IMO.
I'm with you man. I don't know why gore is not getting more screens thrown his way....I guess they don't know that he has also been our best reciever over the last couple of seasons.
