I mean really, the difference in the stats is that Gonzo had to block more early in the year due to our protection problems... and Gates got to face our defense twice a year. He ran wild on us the first time we met.

Well, I'm sure it's not the only reason but, I believe it's one of them. I know Tony gets manhandled but, Gates gets a lot of attention as well. The dropoff in red zone production this year has to worry Carl, and I'm sure he's sick of watching Al run TE screens for Tony.
I also think one of the reasons Carl isn't sold on Al is the situation with LJ. Al's never been a big fan of LJ, and prefers the scatback type runner. I think Carl would like to know he has a coach who's committed to running his thoroughbred.
