He had 8 carries for 10 yards. Most of those attempts happened while Christian was having his cramps worked out. He had at least one attempt down at the goal line. 

I'm talking about Freeman not Chuba

Oh, my bad. Yeah no, Freeman had no carries. 

Also I was wrong about Hubbard getting one attempt near the goal line. His closest attempt came from the 32 lol.

Colts have one of the better o-lines in the league and had 1st and goal at the 1 and couldnt punch it in. it happens. That said, spread the field and run Darnold here. It always works. 

It does happen, on occasion, to other teams.  It's a foregone conclusion of failure for us though.  We shouldn't have to get gimmicky to gain a yard, but unfortunately here we are.  This is what you get when when you don't value a true FB and convert a PS TE to attempt the role.  This staff is very stubborn when it comes to certain positions.

Frustrated about pounding CMC at the goal line. He's not a power back. I was actually dreaming about bringing back Cam just to be a goal line threat.

Freeman played 4 snaps total… blew assignments on two of the snaps. The second led to a sack…. He never returned to the game.

 

Rhule said last week… if you want to play running back you need to know how to pass protect first.

 

i get the urgency to get freeman touches, but he wasn’t good in Denver either. I mean the guy got knocked down by a 5’10 170lb defensive back

The thinking that Royce Freeman is the answer and solution at goal to go situations is erroneous. Our oline got bullied on short yardage situations yesterday. 
 

I rewatched every run play…. We struggled at creating lanes, let alone gaining any push…

You're not wrong about the O-Line struggling in short yardage situations. I'd like to see them bring in Deonte Brown in short yardage. The fact they aren't even giving him some snaps right now is frustrating. Let him come on on 1st and Goal and see how he does.
