Message: [QUOTE="Hamms30, post: 5092145, member: 7714"] It forces the defense to account for the QB as a threat. If you're not really worried about the QB running, you can load the box and your front seven now have 5 defenders matched against the linemen, and two defenders left to account for the running back since you're not worried about the QB. Then your other 4 defenders are responsible for 3 receivers and a tight end. With a running QB, now it's one defender covering the RB while the other extra guy has to make sure the QB doesn't take off and run unaccounted for. If Evers can throw a bit more accurately and take some heat off his short throws so the receivers can catch and possess, he could be a very dynamic player. And he has to stay in the game. Fagnano isn't the stronger runner and now with Evers down and McDonald out for the season, he's even less of a running threat because the staff needs to make sure he stays healthy otherwise Welliver is the only one left in the bullpen. Guessing they'd like to keep his redshirt. [/QUOTE]
