I didn't say I had an answer to the problem. just what the problems were. And Warner is just a really good, violent open field LB that is very fast for a LB and very quick and smart.
Look, I just wouldn't bet any money that any of our RBs convert on that particular play the way it unfolded. Regardless of whether they followed their blocks or tried taking on Warner. I mean, Fred is waiting there on a hair trigger, just hoping CEH turns his head in his direction, so he can crash down and blow Clyde up.
But if you want to believe that Clyde gets to the line-to-gain before Fred hits him, go ahead. It's all just speculation anyway.
I just don't believe it would happen that way, based on the film. Warner's faster than CEH and as sure a tackler as there is, so figure Warner beats CEH to the Line-to-gain by about half a yard or so. Clyde's not a big guy, so he stops right there.
Jerrick is pretty quick himself, and as a bigger guy when he changes direction, he simply covers more space than CEH, so maybe he makes Warner hesitate just enough to fall forward and convert by a yard?
Pacheco is an unknown.
