The strategy was fine, but why Vereen on all three plays, with a play that has proven to ineffective almost always (ignoring the TD earlier bc it suits my argument)?
Give Blount or gray at least one of those runs if that's the way you want to play it. Not to mention the fact that they have a better chance of "eating more clock" as opposed to Vereen getting stuffed instantly 3 times in a row.
Vereen's not a great between the tackles option, and to my eyes Blount seems to have trouble when he's the feature guy and the offensive line doesn't have a decisive edge over the defensive line. Gray's skillset (vision!) makes him best suited to take the workhorse role in this kind of matchup.
We don't know that. We are basing this on one game against a soft defense in Indy. A defense that allowed Blount to run all over them in the playoffs last year.
