My pleasant suprise of the night? The Schwartz


SCP

Recommended Posts

Let me be the first to apologize to Geoff Schwartz. I thought he was going to get owned like a rented mule. He held is own for the most part and looked a lot better than I thought he would.

On some Vikes boards I checked out last night there was some major complaining about how Schwartz was owning their DE.

Personally my response was more like: "Damn if only Otah had been there we would've had three more yards and a chance to bust one loose."

Schwartz had some assignment errors, but he played very well for the most part. That one play with the end-around to Smitty, where Ray Edwards tackled Smitty in the bakcfield.. that was Schwartz' fault.. Smitty looked like he got his bell rung too..

I don't think he missed a block on the end around. Those plays are designed to get everyone flowing in one direction to make it look like a run the opposite way, including the offensive line, which in turn makes the end suck down and think "run left". Looked to me like Schwartz did the right thing - make it look like an outside run left, in which case Edwards would be unblocked. Edwards started to suck in, but ended up realizing what was happening and made a disciplined play. Think 'Spoons tackle back in the Super Bowl (going way back here).

Considering the team he was up against, he did well for his debut as a starter. Not too shabby, and Wharton held down the other tackle spot well.

It looked like it was going to be a tough one for them early on, but the tight end help both received seemed to have made a big difference. Moore being able to roll out now and then helped the cause as well.

But the telling thing was the running game. Early on it looked like Double Trouble was In Trouble, but somehow the Big Uglies just got hold of the situation and started opening lanes. I like how they were pointing out Kalil's hard work, centers never get the praise they deserve.

(Of course, that snap snafu... well, let's give him a mulligan.)

    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre. 
    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
