So I was looking through some individual red zone stats and came across a few semi-interesting things:

 

- D Reavis leads all RB's in red zone touches (9)

 

- K Benjamin has more red zone targets (10) than all other WR's combined (8). 

 

- J Cotchery was targeted 22 times in the red zone with Pittsburgh last year but has only 1 RZ  target so far this year.

 

- Greg Olsen has 9 red zone targets this year but none in the last 3 games. 

 

- Ed Dickson has not been targeted in the red zone. 

 

- 6 different RB's have had more than 1 red zone touch this year.

One of the biggest things about Shula that bothers me, is we have a huge 6'6 260 pound QB who might be the best short yardage back in the NFL, yet we have rarely used him in these goal line situations.

So much for the "Cam only has rushing TDS because he takes short yardage carries away from RBs" crowd. Getting those 1 or 2 yards when defense knows it is coming us really hard in the NFL

I get we don't want a franchise QB taking unnecessary hits, but in key 3rd and short and goal line situations use this beast to your advantage.

Where are the QB draws with a lead blocker that worked so well in the past from around the 5-10 yard line? Or the QB powers at the goal line? Or read option at the 10+ yard line?

It would be one thing if the alternative was working but it is not.

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
