There are plenty of plays this season (specifically in the NIU game) that the sole responsibilities/play of RL kept us from scoring layup touchdowns. Probably 5 or 6 TDs at this point. I think 3 in the NIU game alone. For example, one play all four WRs were wide open and he tucked an ran with no pressure.

Just for reference, objective truth is taking the facts (data) regardless of your feelings and then coupling them in a way where execustion leads to high probability outcomes. IMO, it's using information to execute at a high level. Freeman, this staff and Leornard are doing the opposite (relative to data). Actually, Leornard is performing exactly as the data (see old post) said he'd do. So, it really drops on Freeman and the staff's head. That's the glaring and obvious frustraton. Completely avoidable.
