The running game didn’t work against the Patriots in Week 2. The blame quickly fell on Zach Charbonnet’s shoulders with Ken Walker out injured. But to what extent is he really responsible?
I’ve been a Zach Charbonnet fan for a long time. Coincidentally, it was the same year I started watching Ken Walker. Both of them had a huge jump in production when they transferred from Michigan and Wake Forest to UCLA and Michigan State, respectively. When Charbonnet was drafted, I was very happy, since he would complement Walker’s explosiveness, being a power back that we haven’t had since Chris Carson retired.
The Patriots are in some variation of cover 2 fire zone, where they send a blitzer and use a DL in coverage. Charbonnet is able to block the blitz, giving Geno time to exploit the back of Keion White who has been set up on the defense , with excellent ball placement. On one of the most important plays of the game, Charbonnet escapes and quickly gets free, giving Geno an option against the blitz, makes the reception and fights for every bit of yardage for the first down.
