Maybe not even that, which is extremely frustrating.

The guy is a weapon. His speed, vision, athleticism is off the charts and we're barely taking advantage of it. Using him just like an ordinary RB ie just handing it off is a huge waste.  

A good smart OC would come up with tons of creative plays for Swift, to get him into open space and do damage. But we don't have one....

When they line him out wide and there’s a LB covering him I can’t wait til they hit him deep on that.

Happened against Miami and he was open deep for a TD, but hurts was looking opposite side 

And he's made it thru 7 weeks without injury. I'll take 60%. 

Bro they just had a dominate win over one of the many teams you have been scared of and your first two threads are complaining about it? 😂🤣😂🤫🤫🤫

opa doing opa things.

 

 

It is kind of odd that they bring in Gainwell for the redzone touches.  I really don't understand that part of it.

He's a huge part of the offense but don't want to run him into the ground when we'll need him in the playoffs

I just want them to Run more period. And not with Kenny G.

Kenny G is worse than 80s elevator music. I would rather see Swift. A Penny sighting would also be nice. We could have used a stronger power back these last two games just to push the pile.

 

How'd ya come up with such a specific % of 65?

Analytics? Multiplication Tables? Throwing darts? Gas powered Hydraulics being diffused through a Spectrometer??

Tell me!!

🙃🤓

To your point, I agree. We need a little more of Swift. And the other 2 RBs on the roster who disappear every week.

It happened in the Commanders game and I think it was nullified because of a penalty. He beat Jamin Davis. I'd love to see them use him like how Andy Reid used B-West back in the day, but he has an injury history. They should focus on keeping him fresh.

This, use him in chunks just like we've been doing.  He's another Westbrook.  Don't grind him down.  Maybe two games a year max where you just continue to feed him over and over.

That'll make contract negotiations interesting considering Howie doesn't pay RBs

If they win the SB, it's a good problem to have.

Save him for the PO's

Unfortunately we don't have any power runners on the team, apparently Mr. Peanut Head doesn't see the need for that style of running.

This is how it should be. We need Swift when it matters towards the end of the season and playoffs. Running him into the ground this early in the season doesn't make sense. We see how McCaffrey is already over used and paying the price missing game time.

And we’ll take Penny out of the packing Peanuts if anything happens to Swift and keep on rolling.

Gainwell is the best pass-blocking RB we have.  That's why he keeps getting snaps and Penny isn't....Penny is absolute trash at it.  

Swift isn't all that great at it either to be honest, but he's a much more dangerous playmaker.   

I hope Penny has been using his time the past couple weeks working on that.  It would be nice if he could earn himself some snaps.

I've yet to see Gainwell standout at pass protection, nor have I seen his supposedly great receiving out of the backfield, basically I haven't seen much of anything worth talking about from him.....he's just an average Joe, and that's being generous.

Save him for the playoffs. As someone mentioned no need to run him into the ground. I would like to see him used more like Andy used Bwest and Shady.  Get him the ball in open space and let him do his thing..  I see some of that in recent games but more of it would be cool.

McCaffrey hasnt missed a game yet. But that dude is like a freak of nature.

Here's the problem, without Swift you have no running game worth a damn.
