One thing we didn't talk about: Deangelo


Rags

Recommended Posts

He looked like the Deangelo of old last night.

 

Shifty, making something out of nothing, picking up good yards the few times he did touch the ball.

 

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, a good Deangelo will do us nothing but good for us, and help us win a lot of games.

Deangelo looks good pounding the rock from under C.....if the OL can at least give him a chance. That doesn't surprise.

Issue is Chud would stubbornly do two things....not use him in the above scenario.

Or ask him to get involved in these new spread looks, zone reads, etc. He doesn't fit....isn't that good of a RB if asked to be that RB

I was happy with what he did but the next game should be more telling so I can't wait. I also hope the O-line continues to gel and start to open up even bigger wholes for the RBs to run through. Our true test is going to be the third preseason game against the Ravens that's when we will get a picture on how they look.

He had a hell of a block on one play as well! knocked the LB or DE on his ass!

Ya all the RB played well. That chip block though showed another side of Deangelo that people don't talk about which is his physical side. But did ANYONE see when Kenjon Barnet trucked that guy on that Kickreturn.

    • This is a quick reference that refreshes the memory bank.  https://sogsports.com/greatest-nfl-tight-ends-of-all-time/ It doesn’t list their draft position or I didn’t see that but you bet some of these guys were not 1st round picks. 
    • I ain't buying it. You run to set up the pass and pass to set up the run. You gotta have at least the threat of legit deep shots. And, last I looked, a deep pass is only 20 yards, so what are we doing here?   Football 101 by Top Dawg: Look, you draft the best players (and that's perhaps even more important at offensive skill positions).  You develop them. You keep your pipeline active year after year. On game days, you run to set up the pass, and pass to set up the run. If they can't stop the run, you run it down their throats. When they do stop the run, pass it, even if you dink and dunk it. But, you have to pepper in deep shots to keep them honest. When they get comfortable with stopping or trying to stop the pass, you run it.  Rinse and repeat and rinse and repeat. Being a one-winged bird on offense is not optimal.   
    • It's actually incredibly funny how we had an effective power run offense under Wilkes and then Tepper blew it up and we're only just now winning again once we shifted back to a power run offense.
