Play action and RPO are where I think Max Johnson could shine. In mop-up last night he showed he can run (probably better than Joe). Despite his size, Finley looked awkward on the QB sneaks. He seemed to be way to vertical.
Johnson was far more comfortable and efficient running than finley. the first time it looked like finley just kind of leaned....by the last one he looked better in getting lower....
He came in as a true frosh, tossed the lights out at the end of the game. Everyone called for him to start the next game, he was named starter, and we all know how his career went. Very similar.
In fairness Harris was not in a QB friendly offense. So it’s not exactly apples to apples but I see what you’re getting at.
Also, its quite a bit more stressful to start and finish a game grading out A+ than to come in when you are already getting your shit pushed in.
