He's done well because they have in the pistol offense, which is an interesting wrinkle. I didn't see that coming. He wouldn't be good in the spread without the pistol because he has to come out of an I formation type offense where he can get a running start. He doesn't have the burst to do well otherwise.
The answer seems pretty clear and I hope Gailey makes the adjustment. Thigpen HAS to learn to take the ball under center in the red zone. Shotgun downfield, under center in the red zone.
