Cody Roark explains that defenses key on RJ Harvey by playing wider with their ends and outside guys to prevent him from getting to the outside due to his speed and explosiveness. When J.K. Dobbins went down last year, Harvey struggled in the run game because defenses loaded the box, knowing they could focus on stopping the pass. Roark expects that Jalen Waddle's arrival will help open up Harvey in the passing game by pulling an extra defender out of the box, creating more one-on-one opportunities for Harvey against slower linebackers.
