It's not about running him too much, it's about running him in power situations which only Newton did in your list (which he is also ****ing massive so it is a little different). Read option and outside sweeps should be used regularly and will ultimately help Lindsay more than anything. If we used a TE more it would benefit them a lot as well in the play action passing game but doesn't look like that will be the case this year unless Pop is amazing as a freshman.
There are a lot of posts that just talk about running in general and not specifying "power" running. Or saying "run him just enough" to keep the D honest.
Some people are afraid and rightfully so. Losing Montez to injury would be rough since he brings some of the rest physical attributes to the position this school has ever seen. That being said I would much rather run the crap out of the ball then go 5-wide air raid like many on here want, that is a recipe for disaster for a young defense without a ton of depth. Also, I know some people always scoff at the backup QB but I would have no issue with Sam Noyer getting limited time if Montez does get hurt, there is no reason to be terrified of him playing like we were of Wood/Gehrke in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Coaches and players just can't play in this league scared of injuries, it bleeds over into the attitude of the team and hurts a lot. But, no more QB power plays like last year, Steven is not 240-250 pounds.
If Montez has 15 runs in a game off of the read option with open holes on the outside I don't think anyone should be mad, that means we are likely kicking the **** out of the other team. For example in their final seasons, Mariotta averaged 9 carries a game, Tebow averaged 16, VY averaged 12 and Cam averaged 19. Now Montez is no where near any of those guys but I really like the 9 carries a game average by Mariotta because his YPC was very efficient at 5.7 and they had a dominant run game to go along with an explosive passing game that got the ball to guys in space since they couldn't really double anyone down the field. That should he a great blueprint for us this year, use the QB option/read option to open up running lanes and create one on one situations for the million receivers we have and to limit coverages/pre snap reads for Montez.
Rose goes in the front, big guy.

El Passo? I thought he was "Montezuma." No?
Not sure if this is the "cocky" interview everyone is referencing, but it really wasn't that bad. He paid props to CSU's D and his receivers. Then he tried to make a joke at the end. If this is the extent of it, there's nothing to see here. Move along.
Even the X rated drawings?
El Passo becoming Picasso would be a bad thing, no?
You know he's from El Paso, right?
