There was one play in the late 3rd, maybe early 4th quarter against the clots last Sunday where Bigsby was in at RB.

Standard Shotgun with Lawrence and Tank was next to him.  Anyways, the clots were showing blitz, and Tank picked up the blitzer so that Lawrence could deliver the ball.

Bigsby is raw and has some issues with rookie mistakes.  But he proved he can pass protect and he's made some decent plays.  I mean, you take a RB in the 3rd round, get him some more reps to spell your stud.

Heck, even when James Robinson was our go to back, he'd take several plays off to rest.  I'd rather have ETN here for 7 years than just 4...  Dude is such a unicorn athlete.

Clearly that's the mentality.  But I think that mentality is short sighted...  Just my opinion.  There aren't ETN's in every draft...
