We have the best QB in football. And a RB in Pacheco who is asserting himself to be legit.
Instead of cute crap at the goal line, play action could now be a solid part of the equation inside the 5. Having a RB who can bang it in from the 3 might just be the ticket to getting receivers open down there without having to go to the bag of tricks it took in the past to score. Everybody seems to be on to that now, and the success rate of those plays is plummeting as a result.

I’ll say the uncomfortable thing… but if we can get Melvin Gordon to two hands the ball like his life depended on it he’s a short yardage option we really really need. We all know it because our running in a td on 3rd and 4 was such a surprise even though other teams run on this down and distance routinely. We have to claw our way through every third and short and that’s not a good spot to be. Love Pacheco and McKinnon but I haven’t seen them be consistent options here.
