All season long I've wondered why we nearly always run by rb is between the tackles and that we never try a sweep. I was thrilled to see us run wide on the first series which resulted in a td, but I don't recall us trying it again.
Perhaps the staff doesn't think Gaffney is that fast and is a power runner. However, a couple years ago every time Wilkerson was in, it would either be a sweep to the left or to the right. Now, Wilkerson's runs are between the tackles too. (Btw, Wilkerson looked good last night except for the near fumble.)
I guess the staff figures our outside runs are better done by a reverse to Montgomery or a fly sweep by Young or Seale, but when opponents are stacking the box and you don't want to take the risk of Hogan passing, it seems like an occasional changeup by the rb other than the wildcat might not be a bad idea.Â
