I hope and trust that this is just idle speculation, but suppose Edelman DID have to QB, in a situation where going all run all the time didn't seem likely to win the game. What would happen?
My guesses start:
My guesses start:
- He's probably practiced enough to maintain good throwing mechanics. The one pass to Amendola is encouraging in that respect, although his footwork wasn't exactly standard.
- BB and Josh McD probably have well-founded opinions as to what kind of situations Edelman would probably make good decisions in and which he wouldn't. Play-calling would be in line with those.
- There wouldn't be a lot of designed runs. Those aren't in the playbook in general, so the rest of the team hasn't practiced them much. Besides, keeping Edelman healthy would seem important.
- However, if the first down on the ground was there, he'd take it. So the defense would have to respect his rushing ability.
