Gotta disagree here man. Hunt got stoned at the line A LOT. He’s not Jamaal Charles where he just needs a tiny bit of daylight to squirt through. Hunt isn’t that. What Hunt was excellent at was not going down in the open field where he had room to wiggle. Not at getting through closed gaps.
The problem with the AFCCG IMO was Reid’s absolute failure in gameplanning the OL assignments to deal with the stunts. That wouldn’t have changed with Hunt running into brick walls. The only difference he could have made in that ghastly first half would be if he caught something in the open field or got loose on a stretch play and to my recolllection we didn’t get much there.
Hunt is better than Williams no doubt but the loss in the AFCCG was on Reid, not our stable of RBs.
