WTF happened here. Was Chuba supposed to stay and pick up the blitz? This can't happen. 

Bad job by the center and RG. LG is expecting help to the inside, which is why he passes off the first rusher to get the secondary rusher. RG got drilled on the stunt and let one DL essentially take two OLs out of the play. It was a good defensive play call, but ideally RG has to pass that guy off to the RT and clean up 97, and center has to get to 55 there. 

I could be wrong, but don't think that one is on Chuba.

I've kind of harped on this for a couple of years now, we need a center even more than we need an OT. Paradis isn't just a liability in blocking (run or pass pro), he's unable to make protection calls correctly. Everything I am seeing, he just blows at assigning blockers and pre-snap reads of the DL. 

Ryan Kalil and Jeff Mitchell knew how to do their job and how to direct the guys around them. They both had leadership skills, too that helped knit together lines. Paradis just doesn't seem to be in their league.

lol at all the folks laying that at Paradis feet.

Even if Paradis and Miller had handled that stunt correctly, Sam was still getting sacked.  They brought six guys against our five protection.  Someone was getting free, and the first guy to the QB came off the left.

Now, as I understand it, the goal is to make the QB account for the guy with the longest path to the QB in those situations.  The correct line call here was shift left.  It looked like Daley and Erving did that, but Paradis, Miller and maybe Moton were shifting right.

The question is what was the line call and who went the wrong way.

If shift left was the call (and I think it should have been), then the stunt that beat Daley and Paradis wouldn't have worked.  Additionally, Chuba could have chipped the wide defender on the side he went to.  If you watch Moton's footwork, he wasn't postured to block a wide rusher.  I just can't tell if that was because his guy stunted inside, or because he heard shift left.

If shift right was the call, the stunt might have worked anyway, but in that case, it would have been the guy Erving blocked who would have had a free rush at the QB, because Erving would have blocked Daley's guy and Daley would have blocked the guy who ultimately got the sack.

Basically, it looked like the line call may have been misheard or something, because the line was executing two different calls there.

I disagree. You can't pass off your man on a stunt or this exact thing happens. LG got beat, C should have read stunt, RG should have read stunt, RT was out of the play because the line didn't shift to pick it up. It was a complete screw up imo. Something on the level the Jets did on the regular last year.

What? The left guard didn't get "beat." He had his head up and saw the secondary rusher coming. It was not a bad play by the LG. He got a little piece of the guy lined up in front of him and passed off where he was supposed to have inside help. He did a fine job on that play.

Chuba? You’re blaming him when he clearly seems to have a route to run immediately. I’d say Sam’s got to see that jail break a bit earlier and hit Chuba as the check down, but I’d also say our OL is the weak spot on the team as we felt it would be day 1.

Sam completed that pass for a 3rd down conversion.

Seriously? You're just going to let the inside man run free? Even on a non stunt situation you're asking your Center to cover two guys while you pick up the 5. That's a loss every time unless your QB does some magic. It was a choice of picking who's more dangerous. DeMarcus Walker or Kamu Grugier-Hill.

      Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

      Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

      I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
