DThompson looking so good was also a byproduct of the formations and personnel Reid called - getting out of shotgun 5 wide looks was huge. Going tight, I formation with 12, 21, 22, and 23 personnel is exactly what the run game needs, no matter who is carrying the ball.
The 3rd down play-action out of I formation 22 personnel was a thing of beauty that made my heart sing.
