Twitter: Broaddus and Sturm debate blocked FG

@BryanBroaddus sure looked like Rosario/Arkin both busted on FG block. Doesn't 80 have to take inside threat first? 62 got plowed. Agree?

@SportsSturm They don't double bounce on wings. Played tighter yesterday.

@BryanBroaddus So, Rosario takes outside, 33 in gap is Arkin, and big dude was Tyron in that scenario?

@BryanBroaddus is Arkin supposed to be hugging a guy from behind who is running through the hole? #SoundTechnique

Arkin would have to be a stud (he clearly isn't) to block 2 guys....

Broaddus might have at least acknowledged that....

looking at the pictures it seems like the raiders had a plan that worked. Not really sure we could have done without knowing about it ahead of time. if # 31 is not stopped he might have been able to block it as well.

 

[Staubacher]

Well its good the raiders played their blocked fg card in a preseason game. Wont happen on Thanksgiving

That is on Rosario. Arkin's play looks awful but he is reaching for a guy racing thru the D gap whe Rosario blocked the E. most if not all fg and punt protection is based on taking the inside gap. 31 probably never gets there if Rosario just lets him go.

Yes, actually. A hold is better than a block.

It's on both of them. Rosario had a mental mistake, and Arkin just got pushed out of the way like a rag doll. You need to play with more power than that.

Arkin can't block the c an the d gap. If you look at the first still 94 is on the 7 or 8 yard line like the rest of the blocked interior rushers even after arkin loses leverage in lunging at 33 in the d gap. At this point the ball is down and bailey is going forward to kick. He ends up rear over tea kettle when trying to get out to the d gap because a guy in the d can't be allowed to have a free rush.

I guess none of you have even played football at the HS level with any kickers. You always block down..Rosario's fault to the end. You stagger the wings out to make the block team loop around to even get close to the holder. Making a longer distance to cover

Irrelevant. Getting manhandled is getting manhandled.
