Execution or coaching...

[Juke99]

Curious to get your opinions.

If you taped or Tivo'ed the game.

Take a look at the TD pass to Smith.

We ran an all out blitz...the overload we had was to the right side...on the first replay, from behind Plummer, take a look at the right side...that was our advantage...Roy blitzes...we have a 3 on 2 situation...but Spears takes a rush to the outside shoulder of the offensive lineman which happens to be right into the hole that Roy is gonna blitz through...so, effectively, Spears blocked Roy...Roy got his hands on Plummer...but a bit too late.

So, do you think Spears didn't execute properly. Or that the blitz was poorly devised?

If Glenn doesn't bite on the out move, does it matter?

We are not a good blitzing team. For some reason when resistence is met the forward progress stops and we try to find a new lane. That takes too much time. The most effective blitzing teams keep coming and make you stop them. We don't. No disguised blitzes either. Not since Newman put a hand down like a D-Linemen it seems.

I agree......our blitz schemes are terrible. We need some more speed at LB too.

Just a few minutes later...We had the ball...first drive after the TD.

Denver ran a couple of nice blitzes.

We sent a WR in motion...the DB followed...when the ball was snapped, that DB blitzed the QB. Polite (in my opinion, a waste of space) runs RIGHT past the guy into the flat, opposite of where Bledsoe is facing...I mean, he runs right past the guy...then, he waves his hand as if to say "I'm open" DUH!

Very next play, we put a man in motion again...the do the SAME EXACT thing...and again, we don't pick it up.

OK...I think it's probably a good thing that I stop watching this game...

Both.

It's not just on blitzes.

Bledsoe cannot throw to Julius. I don't know how to explain it, but he has never hit Jones in stride. He seems to get it there with Barber and Polite, but Julius is always reaching, jumping or spinning to make the grab, and several times he has gotten killed when Bledsoe hung him out to dry. Yet we threw it to Jones several times.

We have maulers pulling up front. Too many of our runs depend on perfect execution. Today we had a play where Tucker sealed his guy, Allen blew up his, Johnson moved his five yards down field, but Polite missed the LB and a play that should have been a big play became a 2 yard gain.

Play after play has guys moving and one breakdown and we have a defender in the backfield.

Just when does poor execution, become poor play design?

I think we teeter on that line all the time.

Polite is easily the worst FB in the league.....he gives us nothing. Our offense will improve dramatically when we get a decent FB.

I think we still have the "watch out for the run" diseases when we blitz. It almost as though our blitzers sometimes slow down just incase f they need to stop the run.

And alot of times, for whatever the reason, our blitzers run right into the blockers instead of trying to avoid them.
