I wonder how Brian Westbrook would’ve performed if he was in an offense that didn’t utilize his receiving skills at all like Clyde is being used currently (not a single target against Baltimore). His playing style is rather close to BW’s and yet it seems like Reid has no interest at all in implementing some of the same screens/plays he always had in his schemes that allowed his RB to get in space and make plays. I think they’ll figure it out and realize this current style of running game isn’t suited for CEH as a runner.
It’s just confusing because if this is what the team wanted their running game to look like Taylor, Swift, or Dobbins all would’ve been better fits where CEH was a tailor-made fit for the old PHI style of offense that Andy was always known for where the RB is used as a receiver just as much as a runner. Perhaps this is Bienemy having more control over the plays than we think?
