Again, this all falls on the coaching being pathetic. They want to force feed Fournette (if he can actually play) and Moncrief, but don't want to give the ball to people who are actually producing... AKA Yeldon and Westbrook..

What's puzzling is that this is happening even when it's still early in the game.
We were 3-0 yesterday, second possession and Yeldon just got 6 yards on a first down run. For whatever reason on second down we try that run with Niles Paul that got injured and lose 3 yards.
Same thing that happened against the Chiefs, we run the field with Yeldon, we need a yard and half for the down at the 3 yard line and start throwing the ball knowing we'd go for it on 4th down anyway.

Even when we decide to throw, Moncrief is like the primary target on 50/50 balls, like last week against KC in the end zone. I mean the guy caught what...15 passes over 50 targets? Something like that (he was 15 out of 45 before the Cowboys I think) and for whatever reason coaches like our chances throwing that kind of routes/throws to him.
Injuries and poor Oline play are a concern but man the coaches are going against their own identity as well at times.
