Well, are you insinuating if it were a running play, or if the back stayed in to pass block, Speaks would have been extremely effective?
But the part that it seems your post isn't taking into consideration, is that defenses don't actually KNOW if an offense is running or throwing...or if they are throwing, who knows which side? Deep or short? Rollout? They may have lined up in that run formation fully intending to run...but then Mayfield changed it to a HB wheel BECAUSE Speaks was over there!? What was Speaks supposed to do - rush the QB and let the HB go completely free? Or ****ing TRY TO COVER HIM!?
I mean, no one was bitching when Reid brought Reek into the backfield and got him isolated on a LB that he TORCHED down the sideline in NE, and I'm sure that no one thinks BB planned to cover Tyreek Hill with a ****ing LB, neither - Reid is good at that shit, getting mismatches. It's called 'the game within the game'.
Jesus ****ing Christ, are you ****ing trolling me with this ignorant shit, or do you just not know how football is played??
