Right now I'd settle for an OL that can block and RBs who can run. Looks like we have those.
Oh, and a coach willing to call running plays on 1st & goal inside the 5...doesn't appear we have that
Both TDs by Jones were run plays on 1st and goal inside the 5. (Notably, with West at QB both times. I think that made a difference. McKee's handoffs looked very clunky.)
Clearly Shaw was mailing it in with the 4th q fades. He thought we had already lost and was just giving the QB of the future some reps at that point. (And by thinking that we had lost, he ensured it.) This can be further evidenced by calling runs inside 8 minutes left in the 4th. Peat just happened to break one and we took advantage.
