I agree we aren't using our talent but CO as a runner is a myth. He didn't run in high school and honestly he doesn't look that capable of it now.

He had more rushing yards last week than he did his junior year of HS.

I'm not sure how this myth started but people won't let it go. Maybe they didn't see the negative sign in front of the yards carried

You lost me at CO run threat.

He’s as much of a run threat as BB. It’s a run threat because of #s with a LB having to move out of the box. Not purely natural skill set.

Remember, sack yards count as a rushing total in HS & College. By no means and I’m saying he’s the 2nd coming of QF. It’s a #s thing. 

If a LB moves out of the box to cover Ford (primary mismatch) it also gives you 5 on 5 upfront if you wanted to have a QB run built in. No reason they couldn’t utilize that with either QB in the game for 5-6 yards rather than running against a wall in “power” sets

Strong has mentioned multiple times that Cronkrite is an all around back. If so why does he only have 5 catches on the year and why has Ford been getting the nod over Cronkrite?  Good coaches find ways to get their best players the ball. 

He is an all around back. The coaches are not utilizing him the way they should.

He’s not injured but the coaches have made it a point to split carries and limit plays in the last few weeks. There has been talk that this is being done to limit him to lower his draft grade so he comes back next year because it’s not to actually win games.

You can't even call it a myth anymore.  It's a completely dispelled notion.

Who’s done this talking?

If it's about not actually winning games, it has to be Skip Holtz.

Obviously Cronkrite’s offense is suffering because of Holtz. Everyone knows that.
