I think the inability to run the ball falls on plenty of things but I don’t think it’s mainly Joes fault. For one the line is blocking much better now then before, another is that the scheme looks more simple to me in terms of blocking and Gus Edwards is a better fit clearly then Alex Collins...
If Joe is 100% then I would put him back at the starting role. If not then Lamar. For me it comes down to putting the ball in the air and I have to take into the account the level of competition as well. For me I would like to see a 100% Joe Flacco in but everyone knows a Joe Flacco who is not...
I think the fit was better for the the read-option. Collins hesitates too much and doesn't hit the hole when he needs to. Gus Edwards is different in terms of hesitation and hits the hole when needed to and that's kind of why power backs work better in option plays.
That was amazing coverage. I don't know how you can do better, that was a tremendous play but John Ross. Sad to see him of all people but that was great coverage.
