DeMeco Ryan: Texans used Ravens play to block the Cowboys

[CoachD]

This is why our coaching staff sucks, they fail to make the necessary adjustments to improve. How the hell can you use the same blocking assignments week after week, how???

 

[CowboysRule]

Didn't the Ravens just blow by Steele?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Didn't the Ravens just blow by Steele?

Yes, so they flipped Steele to the other side of the field goal block unit but the same thing happened again against Houston.

Thanks, Coach Sorensen

 

[JohnsKey19]

Sorensen is the worst coordinator of any unit in phase in the NFL

Not surprising when you look at his resume as a coordinator.

 

[75boyz]

I guess Sorensen should get a shout out for doing a great job self scouting his unit in the film room from the previous week's results so that the same thing wouldn't happen again.

Oops.

Keep up the great work!
LOL

An actual competent special teams coach would have saw this blocking mistake on film and would have corrected it for very next game,

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

same guy also couldn't figure out how to stop Lamb, good with the bad

 

[StarLord]

I agree with everyone about Sorenson. He could have been fired day 1 of the off-season just given the amount of penalties ST gave up last year.

But what I want to add: Shoddy is the HC. Ultimately he's the one who truly failed (yet again) here. He's the head coach.. I'm not sure he's even aware that we have a defense or a ST unit. He's a pathetic head coach, and this is just one more reason why.

No, he took the outside guy and the player inside him (Shelton), didn't block anybody. The player who blocked the field goal shot the gap between those two - it was Shelton who blew the assignment.

Against Houston, they overloaded the other side and the miscommunication happened a gap closer to the snap. Leverett (I think) went to the outside man while Jones went inside and blocked nobody. Anderson went through the gap between them.

This is inexcusable.

Agreed. I’m sick of always getting outcoached

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Agreed. I’m sick of always getting outcoached

ultimately we weren't, Ryans couldn't stop Lamb, we outcoached him when it counted

When I was the OIC investigator for targeted violence in the LAUSD school system, one thing that most of the suspects of mass attacks had in common- most people are not innovators, but they're imitators. Football isn't that much different.

 

[stiletto]

Well we have the worst ST Coach in the league so no one should be surprised by what happens against us on teams.

 

[jazzcat22]

Well then it is out on the open now since the Houston coach said it.
So now it should get fixed. If the coaches are smart enough to fix it.

 

[john van brocklin]

Agreed. I’m sick of always getting outcoached

It’s a shame with how profitable this franchise is, that we scrimp on coaching.
It’s just another way this front office’s incompetence is holding us back.

 

[Aven8]

I really don't get why they didn't replace the ST coach this off-season.

Especially considering he was a DC the year before at SF…….

So very true.

Yep, it's a pet peeve of mine when fans don't hold a HC accountable for all 3 units, ie offense, defense and special teams.

He is the head coach and ultimately responsible for all 3.

 

[My3Sons]

Yup

Reason 1001 why I don't believe Shotty makes it.

Yes. Jones' block attempt was terrible against Houston. Not sure if that was all bad coaching.
