Two of the most interesting plays against the Jets week 17 were Lewis' hesitation moves, where he just hangs back, waiting for an opening, like Le'Veon Bell or the mirror image of Ed Reed.
One play was on 1st and 10, Q3 5:20. The other particularly impressive move was at Q3 3:32 2nd and 5 (the two plays are at 3:03 and 3:28 in the video below):
These plays are potentially important if they reflect a new running strategy by Lewis. At least, I don't remember him hesitating as much in earlier games. Maybe watching Bell recently influenced him?
It's also important for the league if Bell's strategy is becoming popularized.
And, of course, if Harrison works out, and if the new running technique is a success, then the Patriots might have introduced two distinct game-changing tactics in this week 17 Jets game!
