Not to jump back in on this, but here goes.
 
I understand the premise, run the ball with good runners. Common Sense 101.
 
But, if Lewis is our best blocker from the H position, and you're not willing to give him the ball occassionally you might as well not put him in at H at all. Because if I'm a DC and I've got my Grad Assistants pulling tendency and personnell reports, I know that when 84 is on the field, what formations he's on the field for and that they're either running with him as a blocker or utilizing one of their pass sets out of that formation, which I can also sort out. It makes gameplanning significantly easier.
 
So although I'd like to say that It should go Phillips 1 and Strickland 2 - I believe that Lewis is significantly better from an assignment and blocking standpoint. Otherwise he wouldn't be in that position.
 
*As an aside, I'm not a fan of him in this position either. I think it's just where he best fits given the offense and the personnel.
