Don Shula Son Needs To Improve Our Screen Game


beastson

Recommended Posts

I think it will always be hard for us to run screens.  The problem is other D-Lines really try to stay in front of Cam for his running ability.  Add in the "spy" or its equivalent that you often see against mobile QBs; this puts defense in a decent position to defend a screen.  This is also probably why we run these misdirection screens because Cam himself needs to clearly be moving the defense in the opposite direction of the play.

Redskins have been running nothing but screens against the Giants so far.

And btw i am not sure that the Packers are the team, that you want to be modelling your offense after with the way they've been performing in recent weeks.

I just pointed to their screen game. They literally came back against us by running screens

I'm legitimately surprised we haven't done more screens with Stewart. He was very, very good as a receiver in 2011 - had something around 40 catches and 400 yards. I meant, I know it's not a big part of the Shula plan, but still.

Watching other teams particularly the Packers, our screen game is lacking big time. The design, the execution needs to improve because teams will be sending blitzes to get after Cam

Seen Cam's stats vs the blitz lately?

I hope teams blitz us mercilessly.

    • I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased. 
    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
