Kirby answering some questions after practice on Tuesday. His comments reflect another reason that Jake Fromm is the starter. Jake understands the game of football. Unusual for some, not for the likes of Jake and AM. Leadership produces results.
Have you emphasized explosive run plays in the offense? What's led to so many of those?
''Good backs, good movement. Couple of times, good scheme. Blocking downfield by receivers. Quarterback putting us in the right play. There's a lot that goes into an explosive run because you'd like to think that, even though you block 'em all, there's usually one left to make the tackle. I think when you combine the fact that we have good backs with a good scheme and receivers blocking downfield, and the quarterback putting you in a good play, that's what you get sometimes.''
