Bobby Hebert: The Next Few Games Will Determine Jameis Winston's Future And His Future Pay

You bring up good points. Casual onlookers don't realize how many first downs he got with his feet in 2021 and these weren't designed runs. This should have let people know then and there that we had an O-line problem. Just pulled some quick dirty numbers and in 14 games (240 attempts), Kamara rushed for 42 1st downs; 12 games (70 attempts), Taysom rushed for 26 1st downs; 7 games (32 attempts), Winston rushed for 17 1st downs.
He was running for his life last year also. It was said he couldn't see the field--of course he couldn't with a free (unblocked) rusher coming at him, which happened six times in the first three games.
