Building Off "Wrinkles to the Offense" CSR Presents: "Playing With Power"

it may not be overly unique or new or creative or innovative, but it's something we couldn't necessarily run very effectively with wharton at LG and brockel at FB (he was our starting fullback, right?) the point of the article is that adding silatolu and tolbert opens up these types of formations for us to be effective with.

often heavy passing teams have lacked a good running game, or a good defense, or both (see: Saints* up until 2009) and then hit another level entirely when they got one or both. we're about to have an outstanding passing offense as well as a power running game worthy of the jets or san francisco or the 2008 carolina panthers, and an improving defense on top of that. bitches better watch out.

Actually there are a lot of plays that we executed last year that were tons more creative and inventive. Here is a TD by Williams on a option toss play where the action goes the other direction that is a lot more interesting and something we didn't do that much in the past.

Notice how the initial action goes in the other direction led by the fullback and Newton. Williams makes one step to the right and then circles back left and Newton tosses him the ball on a naked sweep to the backside where Williams outruns the pursuit to the corner and takes it to the house. I will be glad to X and O it for those who need more than a video, but that play is a lot more creative than a zone sweep to the outside which is old as the hills.

I can give you a tons of those...................

Before we start talking about what Silatolu and Tolbert can do, perhaps they can at least take a snap or two. Tolbert actually has not done that much fullback work and is not known as a lead blocker. He has done it some but his value last year was as a banger type back and receiver out of the backfield not as a lead blocker. As for Silatolu he hasn't even won the left guard position yet, seems a might too optimistic.

As for Brockel leading and Wharton pulling, they were pretty effective given that we led the league for most yards running over the right end position where is where this play happens. Unless it was all about Bell and nothing else.

Well if Amini pans out like Hurney and Rivera hope, I think when he pulls he will maul the man he's blocking all the way to the ground, not just push him to open a hole for the RB, and allow him to stay in the play and tackle the RB 25 yards down the field. So that should be pretty fun to watch over and over again on my DVR. Again like p55 said, it's not certain, but that's why he was drafted in the first place.

I hope Amini is a beast out there and his supposed mean streak is totally true. Still it is optimistic at best to assume he will dominate his rookie year. After all Gross and Kalil are all pros but they did not dominate their rookie years either.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
