The reason Tommy runs it well is because he keeps his eyes where they are supposed to be.....
Taylor is instantly looking to Abdullah as soon as they make their way towards the perimeter. He literally tells the Defense what he's going to do.
I've noticed that several times Tommy has held on to the ball for a long time and then cut up field on his own and picked up 3 or 4 yards. That is running the option to perfection right there.
I've always said I'd rather have Tommy's ability to get 2-4 tough yds consistently, than Taylor's 3-4 big runs for TD a year.
