I'm not worried about Cox (I've already said that I'd be good with him getting carries if one of the 3-headed monsters can't go) or Fox-Flores. I just 1) questioned the decision to bring the ball closer to the defenders, when he had no one to his left, and no one straight ahead of him. The conventional play in that situation is keep the ball tucked into your left arm, and use your right to fend off defenders. If Cox doesn't bring the ball into his body, the defender doesn't make that great play.

Deshaun had a great stiff-arm and all of the running backs in the rotation under him used it. Imo, he's a very good RB coach. I'd like to see him brought back. Incredibly unlikely, but I'd like to see it.
