Originally posted by okdkid:Originally posted by Giedi:One way to protect a QB from QB hits is to just call more runs. During the last 5 games, Hyde's carries took a noticeable up-tick, not by much, just a few carries, but Breida's carries almost doubled during those last 5 games. Breida, I would think, would be used more in passing downs vs Hyde. So that's a significant method to cut down on Jimmy's QB hits.
It's easy to run the ball when you're not down 14 at half. The increase in rushes is directly related to the Niners having leads in the 4th.
You make my point. When you are rushing the ball, the QB isn't getting hit.
So that's definitely a possibility.
Defense will definitely be hard to penetrate with either one of those guys.
