Was that the impression anyone here was left with? My overwhelming impression is that of him following Big Q into the 3-gap? (I'm not completely fluent with the terminology). But aside from a few runs that he busted outside, I thought he got most of his yardage between the tackles.

Maybe I'm just still buzzing from that double-juke run he had. I echo others here who have called it the best run of his career. Just Barry Sanders-esque.

If he followed Nelson, they were likely C gap runs, which is and/or usually takes a RB to the perimeter. Lots of Mack's runs, especially the big ones, broke toward the sidelines or well outside of the hashes.

If he follows Q, that's literally, "between the tackles" though, so even if he ends up on the sidelines after her gets past the line of scrimmage, it's an inside run, right?
