It really depends on the situation at hand.
If the game is 20 - 3 (patriots Up) in the third quarter and you have a 4 and 14 or something. then why not send him in? If its that same sitution and its 1 or 2 yards i believe they will go for it. They have the confidence in themselves to.
But if this team is in a close game or up by 6 or so. I dont think we'll be seeing Gost out there for 40+ yarders. He's only a rookie. That experience comes with time.
But like i said it really depends on the situation at hand.
