I'd love to see him get another 20-30 carries and another 20 receptions this year, but maybe the coaches know what they're doing. Still, pounding him in there 10 straight times this coming Saturday would be cool, just to see what would happen!
I don't need to see him carry the ball, but regularly delivering the key block for Laird (who follows his blocks very well) slowing him to get to the next level, would be ideal.
I also like him as a safety valve receiver. After acting like he is run blocking (so LBs avoid him) drift up field for a wide open reception.
I "need" to see him carry the ball, from the tailback position in an I formation, just to see what happens when defenders try to tackle a 5-11, 290 RB who's built up a head of steam. It's one of those things on my football bucket list.
I just need to see that... Maybe we can try it this Saturday a few times, just for me, and then continue on with the season.
Exactly what I was talking about above. I'm all about Malik in that I-formation.
When I was a little kid, they used to have ABC's Wide World of Sports on Saturday afternoon (and there were only four channels back then). One day they had this thing called a "demolition derby" and, sure enough, I was glued to the set for the next half hour. Okay, I wouldn't want to watch one of those things every day, but now and then, especially that first time or two...
That's why I want to see MM carry the ball a few times.
