Having Love run the ball 12 straight times for 5 to 6 yards per play may get him dinged up. Not worth the risk. Besides, if he breaks one, we don't get our 12 play drive.
No need for Kaden or Colby. Tell them we are running the ball between the tackles and dare them to stop it.
That latter part is the real reason we'd have to do this with Scarlett or Speights. By the time we'd made it to 6 straight Love runs he'd either have broken one for a TD or we've punted.
More broadly, I am amused that suddenly more Ogre with fewer play-maker options is being called for on a fan board. For years, the extra OL formations were one of the main message board complaints, often made specific by decrying the lack of other options to be exploited to fool defenses.
