Just what I was gonna say. We haven't seen much of this guy since he's been here. We don't really know if he's still the dynamic player he once was. Also, it seems he's still very much behind in the playbook.
Seems to me he's not ready at the very least. Once he is, I hope they use him and Gore in the backfield in Shotgun. Westbrook, if the guy he once was, gives the option of motioning into the slot and that causes some quality mismatches. I don't think anyone expects Westbrook to take significant handoffs away from Gore.
