Twitter: McGovern at FB is a hit

[DoctorChicken]

I can’t wait til the Super Bowl when he catches a pass or takes a handoff and punches it in. It’s gonna happen at some point.

 

[AyeAtey]

We know he can blast and block. Can he catch?
Would love to see another surprise with this guy and
an addition to our offensive repertoire.
How's about running a tackle eligible play? Hey...

Zeke had a fantastic game.

A few in a row now.

 

[Proof]

Its working great. Garrett never does that.

That VERY first run in the video is a perfect example of Zeke missing the hole. Completely goes the wrong way. Even on the 2nd one he could bounce it left, but as usual he puts his head down.

The other runs the holes are sooo big that he cant miss them.

he didn't miss the hole, it collapsed in front of him and he wisely (and nimbly) cut back and still gained positive yardage. excellent vision

Nope the hole opened up right and he missed it. Went left and then by the time he saw it, it was too late. Thats his problem. Tunnel vision and he always dives right up the middle.

Can't nobody stop us. McGovern out there mauling people lol.

He really looks like he enjoys it.

I hope they save the play where he slides into the endzone and catches a TD with no one within 15 yards of him for the playoffs.

Fourth quarter. Eighteen seconds left in the Super Bowl against the Chargers. McG slips out left as Elliott runs headlong into a pile of bodies a yard short. Dak lofts the ball and McGovern cradles it for a TD to go up ten and win it ll.

Yep, save that play.

Ok...someone help me out here

What backup guard or center wouldn't be a good FB on the plays highlighted

I'm happy we're finding a way to use him and would love to see him supplant Connor Williams, but...not sure if this is anything special

 

[Captain-Crash]

just wait until they hand the ball off to him this week.

 

[TheGoat73]

He is doing a great job. When he is in there teams know it’s a run and still can’t stop it. Would love to see a flea flicker or trick play off of that. Or hand it off to him.

I’ve seen them use him for misdirection at least once. Let’s hand him the ball against NYG.

Would love to see him hit a hole and take one to the house from 40 yards out.

 

[bark]

I’d love for the home crowd to pick up on this and give him a nod when he comes in. Ala cooooopp

Speaking of Hulk Smash, Osa reminds me of Jay Ratliff.

Its so simple, but genius!! McGovern is built like a classic fullback, and Emmitt himself talked about how Moose was huge in his setting the rushing record.

LOL -- there's nothing an offensive lineman enjoys more than getting an opportunity to be an offensive threat. Mac is getting that opportunity now and is obviously enjoying it to no end. As a lineman, he's getting the opportunity to get in on a more glorious aspect of playing football. I think we're enjoying it almost as much as he does. Here's hoping it continues to our great pleasure and to the team's added success, as well.
