Youngest team in the NFL and it shows

Rhule mentioned yesterday during his press conference that playing rookie on the field means that there will be execution issues. He brought up Marshal specifically around making a down field block that would have led to a DJ Moore TD. I decided to go back and watch it, and oh man... TMJ really missed an opp to create a score for DJ.

Here is the link with the starting point of the play. image.thumb.png.50e22c1178716921f5ef15743f5163a1.png

Not sure I would go that far. There was a lot of Cowboys around the ball. Not much of an effort by Marshall, but I don't think a TD is a given by a long margin.

If TMJ blocks 18 its a TD... there is no other player left... Rhule specifically mentioned this exact play and situation during the presser yesterday.

Look how he is behind the defenders chasing DJ... he was in front of them before, if he is sprinting downfield... he is beating 18 to DJ... thats a walk in TD.

 

You got to a body on another body... that's football.

If he messed up I'm sure he knows it. There were a number of missed opportunities so he was hardly alone in that. Instances like this will be less under the microscope if we can actually complete long passes behind the defense to keep them honest. Moving forward I'm more concerned about seeing that consistently.

I think it's fair to say that we don't know for sure that DJ would've scored if Terrace made the block. I also think it's fair to criticize Terrace for not making the block anyway.

Sure, Criticism is something the Huddle does well. Marshall has been doing a great job with his blocking. But hey, let's criticize him for missing this one.

It isn’t the huddle criticizing him, smart guy. It was Rhule explicitly calling him out (by name, at that) during his press conference yesterday.

Nice edit. Did you get nervous over calling me an idiot? lol 

 

You folks do realize Rhule said this before watching tape. Right?

Nah, that would take critical thinking. Something this place is short on.

I mean Rhule normally likes to state things like "I'd have to look at the tape first" but he specifically remembered that play, so it had to have been bugging him. But regardless im a little more worried about the guys we actually pay to block than Marshall lol

No, he said it yesterday during his press conference. It wasn’t directly after the game.

He also mentioned he had watched the game tape…

 

so?

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
