That's....not close to true.

And even on pure passing downs, there's a lot of communication going on, all lot of moving players and parts before the snap. He can't just line up and rush any way he wants. That's simply not how things work in Spags world.

I'm not the only person that had the same thought.

Send him out there to rocket off the edge and at least attempt to pull the LT out wide to give a rushing lane for Jones or Wharton.

The fact that Danna and Herring are getting 3rd down reps is just poor personnel management. There's no real excuse for it. "He needs to learn the system" is hubris and nothing more. It's a coach thinking his system is more important than the players running it.

To an extent it CAN be. But not when you're talking about sending guys like Herring and Danna out there to just get stood straight up.
