Cronkrite all around back?

[raptorcj]

How would we even know if Cronk's an all-around back? We screen about as much as we jet sweep or throw to the RB in the flat, so the chances of him getting multiple looks in those situations is pretty laughable.

What is an all-around back, and does Gilbert approve of them? To Gilbert all-around back means that a rb takes the hand off on one side of the backfield steps to the other side of the backfield then performs the ritual hb dive.

You may be right, it probably means all-around between the hashes. I kid, but it's just frustrating to see these guys only resort to lateral movement as an adjustment

Ummmm. Our "all around" back might not even crack one thousand yards this year after having 933 after 8 games.

As I mentioned in another thread, we tried Ford on a go route against Tulane when he was matched on a LB and he beat his guy buy multiple steps. Would’ve been a great play to break out against Cincy last week, but nope. 

Simply splitting Ford outside when CO is in the game would create mismatches across the board. QB run threat from empty, LB on Ford, McCants in the slot, etc. We aren’t using our talent efficiently whatsoever 

Hire this man!

Does matter how many supermen we have when Lex is our OC ready to drop kryptonite on the entire offense rather than let us profit.

We get a lot of yards.

Yards are cool, but points are better

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. 

Bad coaches find ways to keep the ball away from the best players

Imagine you have 3rd and 3 at the opponent 20 with 2minutes left. At home. Do you run up the middle with the RB or put the ball in the hands of QF on the edge? I know what the OC did.
