Thoughts on Ward in that other RB spot, or "TB" as the coaches have used earlier this year on the depth chart. This is normally Toafili's and Douglas's position.
From what I have noticed, this is a position occupied by a running back that is flexible on the field. This player lines up next to the QB, in the slot, H-back position, out wide, etc. This player usually gets more passes in space than hand offs in the back field. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I thought moving Ward to this position was a great move for a few reasons.
1. Gets both Corbin and Ward on the field at the same time.
2. Gets Ward in space
3. Ward is a better playmaker than Toafili at this point in time.
I understand that Ward only getting 2 hand offs today is not enough but he had 5 receptions. 7 is still not enough though. Hopefully, the coaches will keep this going forward but with more touches for Ward.
