Youngest team in the NFL and it shows

[TheCasillas]

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.

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.

Plus, as someone else pointed out in another thread, one of the most inexperienced coaching staffs at the pro level.

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.

Sure, why not.

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.

If TMJ makes the block we are much closer for a fg if he does not score. That missed FG was the turning point of the game.

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.

I think for us... going into halftime was the turning point of the game lol

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?
