Reich’s Best/Worst Decisions: Week 1 @Houston
Best Decisions
Feeding Jonathan Taylor
Jonathan Taylor is special. Of course this is something that we all know by now, but it was encouraging watching Reich clearly give Taylor the keys to the offense. Despite running lanes being fairly limited throughout the game, Taylor did the most out of what very little he got, carrying the ball 31 times for 161 yards and a touchdown. Of course this amount of touches are unsustainable during the course of a 17-game NFL season, as that would put him over 500+ carries for the year, but on games where the offense is struggling (as was the case yesterday), just giving the ball to your best player on the team is always a good thing to do.
