I feel strongly about one thing….
Please do NOT win the toss, take the ball, then think that giving Zeke flat footed handoffs with the crowd and defense all fired up isn’t going to work against us.
They will absolutely stuff him.
First off, defer if you can. If you cannot, either start Pollard or use play action. Maybe use both players on the first series which hasn’t been seen much.
I dunno, I just don’t want to see three plays and one yard on the opening series. I think it’s a confidence and momentum killer…..and whoever it is, at whatever level….needs to get over using Elliott as if he is some sort of real weapon. Like now.
