The reason I say this is because Lawrence NEVER keeps the ball on these RPO plays.  At least not since 2022.

Edit:  I said he never keeps the ball on the RPOs.  I'm sure there are a couple times he has.  But, from my memory, the vast majority of the time, he gives the ball to the rusher.

I can absolutely believe that because it really seems like he is handing off the ball a lot more frequently than pulling the ball and rushing himself. But that was such an easy read, with a good 20 yards of lateral availability, that I wish he would make that executive decision himself as the play transpires.

I'd like to know how much this coaching staff "pulls in" Trevor versus it being on him - and I doubt we'll ever be privy to that info unless we were either TLaw or Pederson.
