Outside Runs

Why don't we run outside or off tackle? All runs are between the tackels and he bounces outside and is usualy successful.

Probably some analytics say more holding calls on outside runs
Just like block in the backs on a return

We’re a straight ahead power running team, not enough speed or athleticism in the backfield for running wide. Same reason we don’t have a guy to take a handoff and jump over crowd at the goal line.

Different skills sets. No one ever asked Kareem why he doesn’t take more outside shots.

Agree. Would like to see some toss sweeps to KM. He excels at finding holes when the play flows to the sidelines, especially the left side. How about some jet sweeps to the motion man occasionally? There seems to be no innovation to our play calling (see Nebraska's second TD).
