I get that people think Gainwell is a great blocker
I get that he can catch the ball out of the backfield
But he has 2 fumbles and is averaging 3 YPC. How many times do his runs seem to lead to 2nd and 9 ??
JUST MOSTLY STOP HANDING OFF THE BALL FOR HIM TO RUN.
BRING IN BOSTON SCOTT TO HELP SPELL SWIFT. On his limited carries, he is averaging 5.6 YPC.
He has a PFF grade of 45.5. It doesn’t much worse than that. Swift is over 68. https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/kenneth-gainwell/77737
Apparently gainwell was in on two TD pass plays against Washington and picked up key blitzes allowing for both plays to succeed. Best plan is to fix the play design so he can get better rush yardage. He’s done it before.
Oh and for the love of God stop running on every damn first and second down inside the 10 yard line. Pass the damn ball, Brian!
