turtle28 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Via Al Galdi: Gibson has only 10 snaps on 3rd downs this season. He has only one touch and that was a 40 yard TD run. He played on less than half the snaps last Sunday. McKissic has 41 touches and while he’s been fine on 3rd down, we all know Gibson is the better option. It’s beyond clear Gibson needs more snaps/touches overall bc besides Terry, he’s our best playmaker. I can’t believe Turner hasn’t gotten him the ball more, especially on 3rd downs. There’s ways to play Gibson and McKissic together on 3rd downs too, put one of them in the slot or both of them in the backfield together and maybe put one in motion out of the backfield to go run an option route a slant or something off of the motion. Everyone has talked about this all season, but I really hadn’t realized how little Gibson had played on 3rd downs until Galdi pointed it out today. It’s criminal and it’s killing our offensive production. Edited November 18, 2020 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, I predicted he would have a big year before the season but not quite this huge. I also don’t know how to take these stats that Kyle Stackpole tweeted. I’m happy for McKissic & I have no issues with him but, if Gibson had most of those touches I think most would agree that he’d do more with them. Also, it’s not a good sign for your passing O when a pass catching RB has that kind of production. I have no problems with McKissic but we all know Antonio Gibson is the better player, he could gain more yards on those touches than McKissic. The bottom line is that Gibson should be a 3 down back in the way we used to use Portis, Gibson needs more touches especially on 3rd down.

taylor made Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Gibson has to learn to pass block if he wants to play on 3rd downs. He never did in college so he it'll be a learning curve for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never did in college so he it'll be a learning curve for him. Very key point here. Honestly, he’s not “reliable” in any respect, really. Which is okay, he’s about as raw as a RB could possibly be — you can’t him to be playing like an old pro when he’s literally never done any of it before. But as I’ve said elsewhere, they definitely don’t really trust him, and that’s a big deal on 3rd down in particular. This is one where I’m not really all fired up. I think it’s a little silly that McKissic gets so many snaps and touches, but it doesn’t really bother me. We are a bad team, and I’m really not upset if we don’t put a ton of mileage on Gibson during a season where we’re not really competing for anything anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has McKissic been good in pass pro bc if he has, I haven’t seen it. I’ve seen him get bowled over a few times when defensive players have sacked our QBs. If I remember correctly in the first Giants game McKissic got bowled over in pass pro and then Kyle Allen sacked and fumbled which was returned for a TD. That’s the play everyone points to in that game as being the biggest reason we lost. Edited November 11, 2020 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Oops I meant 38%, 33 snaps for Gibson in the game. I think some of Wright’s snaps should be going to McKissic or Gibson as a receiver with the other one in the backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 I stand corrected in one way about McKissic, I didn’t think he was a good blocker. It’s clear now why they have him in on passing downs and not Gibson, it’s blocking. Still thiugh, I think they could have them both in the game at the same time w/Gibson being used as a WR in the slot or out-wide, coming across in motion for a jet sweep or faking the jet sweep to him where he runs a route off of that into the flat, a wheel route, option route or a slant. I feel they can find more creative ways to get Gibson the ball similar to how they gave Terry the jet sweep last week and he rolled for 17 yards and almost broke it. They’re blessed with guys with return ability and they need to use it more with a few jet sweeps a game or even a few a half: • McLaurin • S. Sims • Gibson • McKissic • Wright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Gibson really needs to be a receiver. He just doesn’t have the vision to be a RB. He leaves so many yards on the field. I do like him a lot as a player but I just think he’d be so much more explosive on the outside opposite Terry opening things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see that as well but then you need a rb other than McKissic to run the ball. Forget Peyton Barber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
