rush attack today - big impact


CRA

Recommended Posts

AZ run D is legit....and that allowed them to tee off on us(which we didn't adjust to). Reoccurring issue regardless of OC under RR

Tolbert's run with 32 seconds left before half at our own 20 skewed there stats....the RBs did little. AZ was passively sitting back seeing if we were going to take a shot before half and Tolbert ripped one. Take that one run away???

3.3 yards a carry for 50 yards. (70 rush yards by RBs with the Tolbert run)

I think that us largely an OL stat more than RB stat (so lets not make this a DWill thread)

But when our run goes away and opponents don't respect it and pass rush all day....we always suck. Rivera never has had plays to counter the pass rush. I think they worked in one screen the entire time we were being abused (it of course went for a nice gain but that was it). In today's NFL teams don't always get a nice rush attack to aid them.....when we don't we implode offensively. Teams bring heat when it doesn't have to be respected.....and we can't counter. Couldn't under Chud....couldn't under Shula.

Cam just sits in the pocket...waiting for his deep stuff to develop and gets popped. Repeat.

From what I have seen there is never been a safety valve. Chud nor Shula use the RB at all unless to rush. IMO for what they are the Oline pass blocked ok. If we would have used just a few underneath patterns and more screens we would have been ok.

I completely agree that our playcalling did absolutely nothing to help our OL.  Shula calls plays like we have San Fran's OL.

We simply don't have the talent on the OL. We couldn't run block or pass protect today. Our OL is just plain bad.

Reminded me of the Giants game last year in the 2nd half. Zero threat on the ground.....opponent just brought heat as we sat there not countering all day.

Our OL sucks....we don't help out much. Or Cam.

still don't understand why they abandon the run, with how aggressive zona was playing we had a high chance of breaking one depending on the play call.......no more draw plays no counters no toss, i don't understand in a close game like that with ARZ blitzing like crazy you did little to stop or adjust it, our own coaching staff made us one dimensional not ARZ

    • I’ll get killed for this but he always sounded gay to me. Not necessarily not gay, but feminine.  I tried to say it in a more subtle way and still got killed for it last year. fug it I don’t care it’s an honest opinion. I didn’t let that disqualify him and have been very patient and non critical. I just wondered how the big tough guys in the locker room would respond to that.  But whatever, I think he thinks too much from the emotional side. The rah rah positive deal, what must it sound like if he gets mad? Where is the tough hard ass side? The no empathy, get the job done or get gone. I wonder about that. It mean I doubt there is a lot of fear of failure going on.    So anyway to other comments about he sucks and all that, I said I needed a better reason to change my stance on him, which has been give him time. Continuity is super important.  This thing with the running backs is eroding the goodwill. 
    • He has a 54 mil buyout so he will be fine but LSU needs o move on.  
    • Sure if you just blindly look at stats, you can pinpoint a couple areas that look similar. But come on man that's lazy analysis. Instead of throwing lower percentage throws, Dalton held onto the ball unconscionably long, leading to several of those sacks including that unthinkable one at the end of the first half, inflating his completion percentage. Bryce for all his flaws, does a pretty good job of escaping pressure and scrambling for 5 yards or throwing it away. Dalton's pocket presence was just so incredibly bad today, which led to both of his lost fumbles. If Bryce would just hold onto the ball and get sacked every 3rd play instead of throw it away or try a contested pass, his completion percentage would be 15 points higher than Dalton's today. And Bryce only had more yardage in 3 of 7 games? You mean when we played run heavy schemes in our wins, instead of Dalton being forced to throw all game cause we're getting blown out?  Look anyone is more than justified in arguing Bryce Young doesn't have the tools to lead this team to a super bowl. But he has been head and shoulders better this year than what Dalton showed today. That was just an abysmal perfomance.
