He's also innaccurate at times and tends to miss at least one open running back in the flat per day -- today he airmailed Sermon once. That's why the 49ers will call lots of runs for Lance this season. Today, they called four quarterback runs for him. He also scrambled a couple times. Don't be surprised when Kyle Shanahan calls runs on 3rd down to set up 4th and short. He did it today.***Warning Cohn article***

I know I'm in the minority but I hate all the designed runs. Even with the argument that "he can also get hurt in the pocket", you are only putting more chances out that he gets concussed or pulls something. I understand that we drafted him to use his mobility but I think running him just to run him is asking for trouble. Don't get me wrong obviously there are plenty of times his running will get us big plays and possibly open things up but all it takes is one wrong move then these SB caliber team is stick going with Sudfeld who I have zero confidence in..
I'm with you 100%. The people saying "he can also get hurt in the pocket" are like people who justify the risks of skydiving or bungie jumping by saying "you can die driving your car or walking across the street." Lol
