[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 132537168, member: 1488840"] When Donaldson is in the game, teams are going to key on him more. This is true especially when there is no downfield passing game to speak of. His yardage is going to be some tough sledding unless something happens to open up some running lanes. Credit has to be given to the offensive line. They've done an admirable job considering how one dimensional we've been to this point. 48 yards on 15 carries doesn't sound great but when 11 guys know you're going to tote the rock and are keying on you, that's pretty darn good. Would like to see him on some wheel routes to see if he can beat a backer in one-on-one coverage but that's only going to happen if the passing game outside the hashes is decent. It's understandable keeping the chains on the backup QB - making him more of a game manager - up to this point. But, at some point, you've got to take the reins off and let him attempt to make plays for you and stretch the defense. Of course, that's assuming the receivers can get a little separation. Haven't seen a great deal of it to this point. Maybe its this week? [/QUOTE]
