He breaks through on runs and gashes. He drives DCs to distraction. As long as he's on the field, the offense is unpredictable and dangerous. Everybody is better with him out there. He doesn't need to average six yards per carry to do that. If he's sitting on the bench and a stiff is out there making five yards per carry, the offense is diminished. If he goes down, we're done. If he's on the bench, the team lacks potency and will be done.
So what are you going to do? You play him and keep winning as long as you can.
Unstoppable, sure.
unpredictable, no way.
Teams know we're going to check it down to CMC and they just can't stop it.
