So i was thinking about this alot lately...I know Ryan Nassib has improved alot but I dont think he can shoulder the load offensively.  When we get into 3rd and long, we rarely ever convert.

So i was thinking, we should run AAM for 20-25 carries a game and have him just wear down the opponents front 7 with just a grind it out game for the first three quarters.  Enter Bailey in as a guy that can be in passing downs and outside the tackles guy.  I just feel like Bailey doesnt wear down the D like Carter did for us last year.  That is why having a big bruising back can help because it slows down the pass-rush and wears down the D-front 7 and will allow our o-line to actually get some momentum against the front 7.

I know Marrone is worried about his weight, but now that you have exhausted his redshirt, we mine as well ride his back and see what he has...Im not in full out panic mode, i just think we have relied on running ball as our MO and now we have turned into a scat-back, pass the ball 5-9 yrds and hope and pray when we have to get back to the grind it out, pound it out
