Sutton?


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has been discussed already. I havent had a chance to scour the boards yet. I was at the game last night and was completely confused as to why Sutton was the HB for most of the 4th quarter. The only thing I can think of is that he was in to block because we were going to pass on every freaking down. I kept looking at the sideline and seeing D. Will and Stewart just standing there. Then Fox would be bring it Stewart occasionanlly to run. It was almost as if Fox was thinking "Man D. Will, you have 119 yards, lets give you a break." It just made no sense to me.Was this brought up during the game on television last night?

both williams and stewart were questionable for the game... stew's been on that list pretty consistently, but it's possible that williams was not quite over whatever ailed him, and the same for jstew.

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
