Winning out: What does it even look like?

We can telegraph - but when you have BOTH tackles and one Guard out, relying on backups to execute same plays that are usually quite successful, is a problem.

I think thats why they are going with short, quick passes, on early downs. We cannot execute with backups.

We need RAM and TA back in the worst way.

I just disagree here. Even when our tackles are healthy, even lesser defenses can and will sell out to stop QB power. We saw it in the Giants game. Sean had run the play effectively down in the redzone throughout the game, and on 3rd and 2 when all we really needed was 1 or 2 first downs to put the game away.. Sean went back to the well, and the Giants get the ball back. We know what happens after that.

We can't be overly reliant on that, especially when we have generational talent at HB. There's no reason that we shouldn't give the threat of AK. The threat of Taysom keeping will give him more room, and vice versa if they play for AK.

I'm not saying to stop running it, I'm simply suggesting to run less of it. Quality over quantity. QB runs with AK lined up next to him will be far more effective than when we telegraph QB run with either the FB in motion or lined up next to Hill.
