I'm not even talking about short yardage.
When you're on the 10 yard line I want to be able to run a toss or stretch and a RB have enough burst to beat a guy to the pylon.
CEH doesn't have that burst. Damien DID. He scored a TD in the AFCCG to give us a 2-score lead just like this.
We're going to come up against a team who's coverage is good enough to shut our receivers down in the red zone. When that happens I would really like this team to have the ability to just get down their and force our will on the opponent.
Better blocking helps of course, but I do think having a faster RB would help immensely.
I'd like to see them run some designed plays where Hardman motions into the RB spot and gets the ball. You can build off that by faking it to him and letting him run circle routes out of the backfield.
