Cam Skattebo Should Have Gotten The Ball In Even More After He Yakked On The Sidelines Because A Pretzel-Wrapped Hot Dog 'Didn't Sit Right'
This could have been the moment that let Cam Skattebo have another career day. We've seen him throw up on the sidelines before, in college against Texas, and he nearly won that game single-handedly for Arizona State. The moment he threw up, it was on. He went for 2 touchdowns and looked like the dangerous running back he talks about he can be.
But what really pisses me off is in the 4th quarter, chance to seal the game in a couple short yardage situations and you just don't give him the ball. I get it can be predictable, but at some point you can do something creative with him. You can get him out to the edge or run him up the middle and he's going to get forward. Instead you try to sneak Jameis or run JJ on the edge. None of it made sense.
That's why he says this:

I don't care that he fumbled with the game on the line last time against the Commanders. That was a different game. This game Skattebo was awesome. He made plays basically the entire time and was one of the consistent players out there. With the game on the line, give the ball to your running back when you're, you know, running.
Plus, he ate a pretzel-wrapped hot dog which made him yak
That's the sort of thing that separates Cam from the rest. A pretzel-wrapped hot dog is fucking delicious. You put pretzel on anything and you have my attention. You wrap it in pretzel and you have my attention even more. It just didn't sit right, we've all been there with something before. Most of us aren't yakking on the sidelines of an NFL game, but we've been there.
Let this be a lesson to Harbaugh. Trust the guy who throws up and has 2 touchdowns while moving the ball. Just give it to him late when you need a yard to seal the game. That's why he's there.
