One thing that’s interesting to watch in pachecos runs vs ceh is how active pachecos feet are in the shotgun. His feet are actively moving including selling the run in a different direction, often a few stops and cuts before he hits the hole. You don’t see as much of that from ceh. You also don’t see as much of that when Pacheco takes a carry under center.
I think we keep solidifying every week that eventually Pacheco needs to be our lead back and ceh needs to be more of a shorter down and distance, in areas where we run more under center. Other observation is that in those situations we were pretty effective running under center. [Reply]
This is Andy being Andy. It's infuriating, but he's never gonna change. I keep telling y'all that he's not gonna play a rookie over a healthy vet. [Reply]
Pacheco absolutely trucked a defender on a screen pass tonight, while shaking a tackler. Had a couple decent special teams plays. That was about the only thing I noticed..
Regardless of his potential, Andy Reid isn't going to throw a 7th rd rookie RB into a ton of plays and try and make him anything like a feature back. That's just not Andy or our offense in general. [Reply]

Yes he did, BUT there was way more had he he broken it outside. He just literaly lowered his head, like a battering ram, and went to battering. No vision on that play after the catch, at all.. [Reply]

yeah man - I'm not sure I have a good grip on him yet, you're right though he'll have to earn that playing time. [Reply]

I’d really, really love to see him never return a kickoff again. He does not look cut out for that role at all as his speed doesn’t seem to translate and you don’t need his power and violent running there. [Reply]

Exactly. Hardman needs to return kicks and punts. [Reply]
