The play no one is discussing

It does appear to be trending in that direction. If he's going to be this bad at blocking he can't be in on any running plays which makes him basically a human "tell" for the offense. Schultz isn't pancaking anybody but on Zeke's longest run of the night which was the sweep left Schultz motioned into the FB position and led Zeke to the sideline and walled off his man nicely to allow Zeke to zip past. Didn't destroy the guy nor did he need to.. Got in the way.. If Jarwin just does that Zeke likely scores on that play..
I've never got the Jarwin love, seriously. I saw you really liked him, and it shocked me.

The pitch to Zeke. That is a sure TD if JARWIN holds his block. Moore should never use him in that situation again. Zeke gets in there and we have a completely different game. I think that would have been the difference. Jarwin either needs to get better at blocking, or put Dalton on the field in situations like that.

The play of the game. Was living rent free in the fourth quarter when Brady had the ball on the final drive

Agreed. Execution wasn’t there and it starts with Jarwin.

Now having a different look from the TV broadcast its clear Zeke could have easily made lemonade out of lemons.

Jarwin had inside position on the defender (Winfield #31) which is why it was so easy for him to separate from Jarwin because Zeke took the play wide. Had he simply made an easy cut inside, Jarwin is already in position to just wall off Winfield.

Jarwin and Zeke both share blame for there being no TD there. It's so obvious there. This will get fixed and we'll be a better team for it. After studying the tape, there will be lots of busted assignments like this identified and fixed. This team is getting better folks.

100% on Jarwin. Inside has defenders. He's suppose to set the edge there. Witten was a God at it.
This is where we miss Witten's services. You are 100% correct about that but I believe Zeke shares some blame here as well.

I think the issue is that they don't have a complete TE. Jarwin is a receiver, and Shultz is a blocker with good hands, but no deep threat. So you can't play him on the left side, and not expect the defense to know what you're doing. They need one more guy like Schultz, or a complete guy. That way there's less of showing your hand.

Thanks for the clip it verifies my suspicions . Missed block or no missed block Zeke cuts it in when he should have gone wide turn on the JETS and it’s clear sailing , he cut right into the path of the defender.

It wasn’t a good block but Zeke should have cut it upfield once he saw there was no chance of getting outside. There was still a soft spot inside to run in.

I dont fault Zeke like many are doing here, but this is a perfect example of how Zeke isnt a top 10 back in this league. He just doesnt have the speed or moves to make guys miss or make big plays. If Zeke doesnt get the blocking he doenst get the yards.

FYI...........there was no EASY CUT inside there. He would have gotten tackled too.
