Bradie James

Lulz.

In the 6th shot you can clearly see the RT coming off to get James (too late) and the RG coming off to get Spears (too late).

 

[Rack]

At the end of the play you can even see the body language of the RT and RG looking as if they both know they screwed up.

That has nothing to do with whether or not they were following their blocking assignments. You said the RT didn't block Spears. Guess you were wrong again.

At the end of the play you can even see the body language of the RT and RG looking as if they both know they screwed up.

Or it could be that they simply blocked as assigned, and the defense took advantage of them by blitzing. Part of the reason they were able to take advantage is because Bradie James shot the gap so quickly.

With James at 265 pounds and the LDE playing a 2-gap scheme, the RT would have had plenty of time to simply slide over and block James as the RG picked up Spears. Behold, the magic wand!

He didn't block Spears, Chico.

He started to, then saw James go by and reached for James.


You do know what a "block" is, right?

As usual.

This is really sad.

Yes, you are sad.


It's obvious both the RG and RT screwed up. YOu even see the RG clap his hands in frustration at the end of the play.

You see the RT start off to block Spears, then come off and go for James.

If he was doing what he was assigned to do, then why bother trying to block James too?


What's that? Oh, that's right, HE WOULDN'T. He saw the stunt (game, whatever you like to call it) too late and knew he screwed up. Same goes for the RG.


It's obvious to anyone with at least 1/8 of a brain.


Which is why I understand you not seeing the obvious.

If the RT had blocked out and blocked James, Spears would have had a straight shot at the tackle. Why? Because the RG blocked inside to the NT. He never had time to get to Spears. Why did he do that? I guess it's because both he and the RT blew their blocking assignments. Gosh, that's the most logical explanation.

 

[adbutcher]

That's not a stunt. Bradie was stacked behind Spears. Spears shot the gap to the right and Bradie shot the gap to the left. That's just pure and simple 1-gap assignment. There was no stunting involved.

Give him a break. He is looking for a diversion after he is getting his football IQ handed to him. This should be a cautionary tale about quitting when you are behind.

Or they both went to the correct zone (Kubiak, remember) and both did their job, but the play took too long and Bradie timed his blitz perfectly. If that hits quicker, and Bradie doesn't get such a great jump, instead of a 6 yard loss that's an 8 yard gain minimum up the gut.

I feel that all their offensive linemen did their job correctly. It was just a perfect playcall and great execution.

I don't think Wade really calls plays. It's more like he kind of just waves his wand in the air. Occasionally you can here enchantments such as "expeliarmus" being uttered.

I have found on this board that no matter how obvious you think a play or replay is with regards to almost anything that someone else can see it completely differently.

If you had 2 eyewitnesses to a crime in the US I don't think anybody would ever get convicted!

Sweet! Now I won't get busted any future redrum.

Have you bothered reading any of my posts?

I jsut said the RT and RG screwed up. Problem reading?

Wow, you sure added a lot to this debate.

If you had half a brain you'd know that I was right. The RT and RG both screwed up.

But go ahead and do nothing but criticize, Chico.

That's the whole point, Spears shot into the RG's zone, the RT stayed with him instead of setting up in his zone (which is where James shot through). The RG didn't stay in his zone either. If it were a toss away from them I could see them both stepping inside to their zone, but it wasn't a play away from them.


If the RT and RG stayed in their zones, the RG would of picked up Spears (he went right at the RG) and the RT would have picked up James.


It's obvious. Look at it again.

You apparently have a problem detecting sarcasm. Given your inability to see what is directly in front of you in this thread, that's not surprising.

Both the RG and the RT blocked inside as the ball was snapped. So, if the RT is blocking towards a zone, wouldn't it stand to reason that Spears was entering the RT's zone?

Of course, you can easily defend this argument by saying that the RG and RT only blocked inside because they were screwing up. Obviously their respective zones could not have been where they were blocking to immediately as the ball is snapped. I think it's amazing that you can tell what their assignments were despite such evidence to the contrary. Truly, you are a guru.

 

[superpunk]

It's obvious. Look at it again.

I did.

The only thing that is obvious is that you'll dance for hours so that you can avoid saying "I was wrong." The RT steps left IMMEDIATELY to block down the line, as does the RG.

It was just a great playcall, and a great execution. The FB was the only one who had any chance to do anything against Bradie on that play, and he ran right past him.

The RT went WAY inside, too far inside.

Again, if he was doing his job correctly, why did he leave Spears and reach for James? Why did he look upset after the play?


And superpunk, I'm not dancing. This is football 101 and you two are flunking.

 

[theogt]

He went to his zone, which is where Spears also happened to be going.

What does reaching for James and being upset about the negative yardage have to do with his initial assignment? You're honestly basing your opinion of the guy's blocking assignment based on his demeanor after the play? You've stooped to new lows, Rack.

 

[Doomsday101]

I felt James was one of the few who had a good game against Houston.

 

[Rack]

He went to his zone, which is where Spears also happened to be going.

And you this was his zone... how?


Ok if that was his zone, then who had the zone where James shot through?


The tooth fairy?

Santa Claus?


No, it was the RT's zone. No matter how many times you say his zone was WAY to the inside, it doesn't make it right.


We run a defensive scheme designed to confuse an offensive line causing them to make mistakes in their assignments, but you find it odd that, ummm, an offensive lineman (on the Texans roster no less) actually screwed up?

The scheme worked, Spears drew the RT too far inside and it freed up James to go unblocked and make the tackle. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
