Bees, I'm not sure but I thought both were short yardage situations (1 yard) and both out of shot guns and both direct hand offs to the right (why do we power run to our weak side?)  and both with penetration and contact 2-3 yards deep.  Only difference IMO is vision and/or wiggle.

Interesting stats between our backs regarding the ability to see what the d is giving and execute...

PTG and Slash 44 carries ave 5ypc with 3 TD and only 6 negative yards.

Smith also has 44 carries but for 4ypc no TD and 17 negative yards.

I think the most telling stats are actually the negative yards (make something out of nothing) and scores (some backs can just 'see' how to get to the end zone)

Keep in minds this is with the same line, same offense vs the same opponents

I am NOT bashing smith I am pumped we have his depth, both for injuries and when our primary backs need a blow/ change of pace, but I do think have other backs that should make us question JS up the middle 3x in a row
