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!

This was from 2 weeks ago from Roob, but still true:

On Gainwell:

A quick glance at Kenny Gainwell’s rushing stats shows a 3.3 average, which ranks 45th out of 57 running backs with at least 20 carries so far. But with Gainwell, you have to look at how he’s being used. Gainwell is the Eagles’ designated run-out-the-clock guy, which means a great many of his carries come with the Eagles holding a lead against a loaded box. And that’s an important role. The Eagles trust Gainwell, whose assignment is often to just run into traffic and hang onto the football and try to get two or three yards. He does have the one fumble, but get this: In the first three quarters this year – running against conventional fronts – Gainwell is averaging 4.1 yards per carry on 22-for-89. In the fourth quarter, running almost exclusively against stacked fronts, he’s averaging 2.3 yards per carry on 17-for-39. The numbers aren’t particularly pretty, but sometimes you’ve got to look deeper to really understand what’s going on.

Gainwell would be a great RB if that stood for Receiving Blocker.
