BTW, now that Taysom Hill is catching hard throws as a WR, he's kind of fun, now that they aren't playing him at QB. They need to play him at HB, I still think his skill set can go beyond this. Play him at HB with Carr, and do a toss sweep where he can run or pass, on a high low option, outside the pocket, for instance. Dude is a football player, he's fun. Use it while it lasts, it's short lived, the way he plays, and his age.
Good example perhaps, of how work load wears down RB's. Taysom looks spry, for his age, because he really hasn't had a work load, even close to a lead back by age 24, for example. The realities of age matter, but couple that with 300 touches for 3-4 years, instead of handing that out over an entire career, or not even close to that over an entire career, actually, you can see why he runs this way at that age a bit more.
Seriously though. Carr in shotgun. Taysom at HB. Even get bonkers on some plays. Carr in Shotgun, Taysom on one side, Kamara on the other. A shotgun style of "pro set". Some cool and whacky plays that aren't really that hard to actually pull off in terms of logistics, but could throw a D completely off. Especially considering you know you could count on Taysom to be a lead blocker on a run play from that formation for AK.
They could also both run flat routes to spread LB's thin, and you could maybe hit one in the flat, OR, it's just a decoy to draw LB's out to hit a slant to Olave. I mean, they really haven't maxed out his abilty yet, and with all this stuff, he could always, possibly throw the ball, just not from behind center, as much.
You have 2 guys in Kamara and Hill, that can work out of the backfield with different skill sets, a really creative OC would be doing some really awesome stuff with that, start them off on either side of the QB, motion one out sometimes from that set, etc etc etc....not to say today didn't work, of course. Just that there is more under the hood, IMO.
