Who said the HB can't get the ball? The HB can also be a blocker.

And what exactly does blocking have to do with there being zero running plays from a certain formation?

Honestly, that's something that needs to be looked into. Having a formation with a HB in the game that can't get the ball is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, perhaps aside from there being 0 pass plays in the GL offense.

Here are a few examples of the HB getting the ball:

Good job. I looked at the first 3. They're all passes right? You think that's how it should be? You shouldn't be able to run from that formation?

No, I agree with you - I'm just saying it's not as bad as JUST passes, cause the HB pass almost sort of acts like a run as you have to be a little bit honest.

Oh. I get you. That's true, I guess, but still not even a delay or draw up the middle, which is what should really be in that formation.

I think you MIGHT be able to rush the QB out of that formation, but not with a lot of success.
