one thing they do is help freeze the defense and open things up for the inside run. even showing them in the preseason is going to make defenses wary about overcommitting. execute one in a game and it helps with the rest of the game.

And it looked like it kinda rolled as he cut right..
Also when he got tackled his ankles were rolled awkwardly.

Factor in that Garrett is creative enough to utilize our fantastic depth at TE and RB… I’m not too troubled.
