I would say the jury is still out on Kyle, if Defenses are seeing on film tendencies of how he runs the ball, that's on Kyle. I think he has so few running plays that the D easily sees them & they must be doing something in formations that tips the defense.
Probably something they noticed in our personnel packages. Maybe it's the specific players he puts on the field or how we line up. Or even a subtlety in how players set before the snap.
