Doesn it seem Bledsoe is really slow on the RB handoffs?.


I've been watching other Qbs like Hasselbeck and I see spot on quick handoffs.

Do you guys think this slow handoffs might be part of the problem concerning our running game?.

Nah-when they win, we end up laughing off their blunders-no matter how bad they are. Even the Iggles were have to laugh off TO's tirades in their 04 gangbusters season.

However-when they lose, we may be seeing some things that aren't there-I don't know.

If you're talking about that fumble, it was the blocker's fault.
 
No I'm not talking about the fumble, that was clearly on the blocker.


I'm just pointing out the crazy slowness in Bledsoe to hand the ball off. It seems JJ gets the ball a little to late and by that time the defenders are all over the place, swarming the line of scrimidge like animals.

Last year with Vinny atleast he could get past the line of scrimidge and then dodge the bullets. Sure the O line is bad and JJ isnt 100% but surely the slow handoffs are not helping the couse.

Maybe we are seeing things differently. Buffalo has an OL worse than us, but last year-Willis McGahee
managed to break out just fine from Drew's slow hand-offs.

Like I said-we they win, they make jokes about their bigger blunders. When they lose, they start to halucinate about insignificant things.

Just like Parcells said about records-"You are what you are".
 
it's not his hand offs. Watch how slow he comes off the center. He takes forever and a day to move from the center to take his steps. Watch the denver game especially

It's two-fold - seems it takes JJ a hundred years to get to the LOS and it takes Bledsoe another 100 years to get him the ball. By the time JJ does hit the LOS, I've been to the fridge and back and already poured a cold one.

Sadly, I have more yards this year than JJ.

Yea thats what I'm talking about. The process from Center exchange to the running back handoff that is extremely slow.
 
I'm with Muhast on this one the center to qb exchange is terrible. He's still to worried about fumbling the snap. He has that pause.
 
By the time he has successfully taken the snap, and taken a step. the Pocket is already being pushed and that is why we can't do play action.
 
It's not your imagination. He's slow in everything he does. Brunell is three years older and does everything faster.

Yes and Brunell is leading a high power Commanders offence :rolleyes:
 
I think that bledsoe is slow dont get me wrong. But everything around him is slow. Pulling guards and the entire line in general is just slow getting off the ball. And i think the playcalling for all the stretches and off tackle runs take a lot longer to develop so the handoff is much later.
 
Maybe we need Tham to goof on now

We ran it better in 2003 - YPC
