2 yards more than half, actually. 178/2=89

according to profootballfocus.com it was 80.

Jones notched 178 receiving yards and a score in the game, but only 80 of them (and not the touchdown) came against Norman, who shadowed Julio across the field but not to the slot (except on a couple of late plays).

point is, it wasn't most of his yards.

Good post PhillyB. 

That outside leverage bail technique has its place in certain situations. But, I hate that we use it on nearly every down. 

If we ran the same run blocking scheme every play, do you think defensive coordinators and/or players would pick up on it? Just can't believe we failed to adjust the entire game.

The last two opponents have exploited our defensive weakness, no reason to think TB won't attempt to also.

Anything less than a convincing win on Sunday will not bode well for the post season.

The QBs we'll face in the playoffs will slice and dice a soft zone coverage.

 

Vincent Jackson has been placed on injured reserve, thank god.

It would be nice if Ron would allow J-No back out of his shell so he could get in Mike Evans head.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.

    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
