He's a really good throwing RB though. Like he throws really well, for a RB.
Running that much isn't sustainable. They best come up with a better plan. He dropped weight to get faster this offseason, but that's just gonna get him hurt again.
Seems like they ran a ton this game as a "fuck you, we shoulda done this in the AFCCG" and still came up short... again.
For all the gnashing of teeth about why Lamar doesn't get the respect other QBs do, this game is another example of why. He's great playing with a lead when they can tee off that running game, but when he just has to pass a lot, he is the opposite of clutch.
Running just isn't efficient enough to beat a great passing team in the playoffs. For example, King Henry has a career EPA of 8. Not 8 points per game, he has added 8 points towards winning, in his career.
Burrow and Allen will always worry me more than Lamar.
