schneiderbengal Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Their red zone plays have not been improved from last years debacle. Small things are huge. Take a delay penalty in ot, then punt it back. A tie at the end of the season may make all the difference. E-fuckin-gregious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had two winning TD's get erased today on some BS. Some real puzzling situational play calls though, that's for sure. Seemed very indecisive overall & never settled on what seemed to be working for them. Mixon & Hurst were open all day but it's like 6-8 yards a pop wasn't good enough for them & they kept throwing downfield into a cloud of DBs.

Austin called a brilliant defensive game for them. As you say, they had everything past 15 yards blanketed. And with The Wall of Mush 2022 Edition offensive line, no time to allow any breakdowns to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Plus Turbinski played the game of his career... WAY over his head and he will never duplicate that again, ever. I still don't know how he held on to the ball after getting his arm chopped from behind by Hendrickson. Someone should send Jesse Bates III a highlight reel of Fitzpatrick's game, which was maniac good, with a note that says "this is why you ain't worth it".

|SF2| Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 First and goal on the one and they call a pitchout which immediately lost 4 yards. Dumb. If 45 year old Tom Brady can sneak it in still, Joey B can too. Clean up the mistakes and we win that one easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They blew 4 chances to move less than foot for the score. I would have ran 2 sneaks and on 3rd down fake the run and threw it to Hurst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every play run to the outside was met by 5 bad guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(what I would have done) This team is way too concerned with possible injuries as it is, that's why they came out looking like they hadn't touched a football in 6 months. Once again it's a football team, not a glass menagerie to admire in a cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 I have never understood why teams don't use a 340 lb NT for QB sneaks needing 1 yard, and put him directly under center. Then have another 340 lb DT at RB and push the "DT QB" from behind. It would be very hard to stop even if the defense knew if was coming. There is no way Reader being pushed by Shelvin, behind Karras doesn't get 36 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that their thinking was to not score on first down, and maybe not even on second down, in order to run time off of the clock. 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case then Joe should have taken a knee instead of risking a fumble on the pitch or negative yards which did happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think somewhere between the 3rd and 4th interception they could maybe stop forcing the ball into coverage downfield and make an adjustment, or just take the easy yards underneath. At least, that's what I'd do in Madden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On short yardage the backup comes in and does the sneaks. Keep in mind in the CFL the DL has to play 1 yard off the line but there are some QB specialists that just do that. On our team, the QB who does the sneaks is the 3rd string guy. He was an option QB in college so he can actually bust some plays if he goes outside.

On Siruis NFL yesterday, Pat Kirwan was saying the same thing - he said teams need to play these guys in pre-season, you are trying to avoid an injury in pre-seson but you then risk the QB injury at the start of the regular season.

Le Tigre Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Cappa was hurting all through TC, and Collins was nursing a bad back. Volson played virtually every snap. They wouldn't have had their entire line for the preseason games anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
