Jir Gibbs being there without like the backup running back David Montgomery. I feel like it's going to be a lot more fast-paced... do you really want to load up Jir Gibbs with 20 rushes per game? Um I think maybe the the best way to do it is like 14, 15, 16 rushes per game for him, five for PCO, get Gibbs involved in the pass game a lot, and just drop back a lot. You're playing all these dome games. The strength of your your team, I mean, is Gibbs as a pass catcher, Gibbs in space

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Gibbs best deployed at 14-16 rushes/game with heavy pass involvement.

The source projects Gibbs at 14-16 rushes per game rather than 20, with heavy pass-game involvement and 5 carries for backup; strength of Lions offense is Gibbs as pass catcher and in space, especially in dome games with strong passing game pieces (St. Brown, Williams, LaPorta). Pass-catching upside and space creation are emphasized as the optimal way to deploy him. Gibbs' presence as the lead running back in Detroit (without backup David Montgomery) supports a faster-paced, pass-heavy Lions offense that benefits pass catchers.
