Sorry but I just can’t remotely understand why CJ would hand the ball off on some of those plays you illustrated, It’s painfully obvious he has a wide open field to run and after watching the plays numerous times he had ample opportunity to see he had nothing but green in front of him on the 3rd and 2 and the 4th down could have been made with little effort and a slide if he so chose to do that.
