but think about this if that's the only time he comes in the game he's not actually running an entire possession everybody knows it's coming
But that's just it.
You're absolutely correct that if you only use it when you're actually going to have
him run the ball, that's just telegraphing plays.
Mind you, the situation isn't all that different from thinking about how you go about using Turpin effectively. You can't do jet sweeps and WR screens and otherwise get the ball to Turpin every time he comes in for a snap or two or three.
To be fair to your point, Milton has to not only be a runner... not only be able to hand the ball to a RB... but has to be a legit passing threat to the degree that... you knew this name was bound to surface...
Taysom Hill ...ever was that.
If he can't be that, then I'm totally on your side of the discussion. He doesn't have to be starter quality, but he does have to be adequate if the play calls for him to throw it.
What's tedious to me is we always hear...
and I do mean always... "Our coaches just aren't creative enough. They don't think make the defense think. They don't scheme well enough. They run the same tired plays from the same tired formations." We similarly hear, "Our offense doesn't play to the strengths of the roster."
Don't we? Tell me I'm wrong.
Okay, so this is
exactly the kind of play design and play calling that answers those (sometimes valid, sometimes not) criticisms.
(And I just need to apologize genuinely... reading your posts often is something like playing football on the muddiest field you ever played on... I get a little momentum, then feel my foot sink into the turf and I get stymied for a moment, and it just becomes more work to read than I feel like exerting. You've explained before that you use voice to text, which is fine, but just as you get to make that choice for yourself, so the rest of us get to choose when and how much effort we want to put into reading.)
