As explosive and dangerous this guy can be in open space,why in games when the run blocking is a issue isn't the staff using some screens or dumping it off to him to let him create more?

He had 17 catches for 170+ yards in 2014 and then 13 receptions for 74 yards last year. I don't know how many of these were just the shuffle tosses forward and how many were actual swing passes, but he has at least shown some ability to catch the ball. I don't know how reliable he is in the passing game, but I think that is something we are missing in our offense. I think we could take a lot of pressure off our quarterbacks if we had some sort of safety valve.

Gran doesn't seem to throw to the RBs much in this O. Maybe it's not his thing, maybe the RB aren't good receivers.

Keeping the backs in mostly to help with pass rush, my philosophy is nothing slows down a rush like a flare out in the flats to a back.

He had a huge drop in the auburn game. It's the one thing he really needs to develope to play at the next level

The passes a RB catch are barely considered passes, it's like a toss to a 2 year old. If a RB can't catch a pass coming out of the backfield then they have no business playing football. Believe we just don't have that in the arsenal for whatever reason which is a shame as when used properly is a very effective weapon.
