Watkins doesn’t seem to shy from contact once he gets the ball. Seems quite the contrary. He’s a pretty bruising runner with the ball in his hands. He just doesn’t seem to get the separation that Woods does or is as sharp out of his cuts. I think Woods pays more attention to his QB when in trouble.
I hope Watkins shows he can do this because I haven’t seen him do it much with us. He does seem to see his fair share of two on ones. We may see P Cooper get some more underneath targets. He is another physical runner with the ball and if he can get going, Watkins might find himself with fewer double teams.
