This isn't like Gore, who will identify that we're going to run the ball in the same way we would otherwise run the ball. This is a guy who is a changeup in his own right. And if you respond to his presence on the field, Andy's going to respond back.

I'm not terribly worried about telegraphing what we'd be doing with Lindsay if only because Reid can even use THAT to his advantage.

Again, this entire discussion is premised on the idea that you've confirmed, which is that Lindsay can't block well.

And you're right, that does create a cue, from which there are adjustments and counter adjustments to be had.

But it's a game of adjustability that Reid doesn't like to play. He'll play it in other areas, but he doesn't really play it with RBs who can't block.

As you know, that's why I asked. Reid just doesn't like giving snaps to RBs who can't pass protect.
