Just rewatched the 1st 4 games again

[NEODOG]

These things are consistent:
1. Dak will force the ball to Dez
2. 7< in the box minimum against our run
3. Heath gets lost
4. Our OL will all fail on 1 or more assignments throughout the the game
5. TE blocking fails badly
6. Hate to pick on Witten, but man he missed multiple blocks that only his man can make the play
7. Linehan has alzheimer
8. Our DL goes non existence
9. Dak will miss open receivers
10. LG & RT are serious issues
11 Marenilii needs to GO
12. Offense is so lame in scheme
13. Tank is BALLIN

There's more, but those are consistent in every game so far

I hate to expose him to hits, but they have to use more read option with Dak.

If they aren't going to try to attack down the field when teams load the box and crash down on Elliott, then use more read option.

Do you also enjoy poking your eyes with an ice pick repeatedly? Perhaps you are more of the burn my skin with a cigarette type of guy. Either way, I commend you for your tolerance to massive pain.

Whats clear to me..... Dak should take off instead of forcing throws. He's really focused in on one read 80% of the time.

Disagree on 9, 10 and 11.

I've watched the first 3, four times each including the All-22 reviews. I've watched today's game twice.

Dak's misses are often not what you think. Receivers run wrong routes and he throws balls away or errors on the side of caution and away from defenders.

LG and RT are not that bad, especially with Green playing.

The defense is very young. They've actually played above their experience level this season. They won 13 games last season and the defense was 5th best in limiting scores.

LOL

What in the world is wrong with some of you?

Take a deep breath. Turn off your TV/smart device. Go outside.

It's hard to argue with most of that. I think Dak forcing the ball to Dez is coaching. Add in a #14. Dak has forgotten about Beasley altogether.

 

[kevm3]

It's no surprise that most of our interceptions or near interceptions come when the ball is thrown to Dez. We're trying to get our weapon involved, which is a positive, but when the only way to get him the ball is 50 50 jumpballs because he's not getting separation, then you're going to have a 50% completion percentage, which is around what it seems like Dak and Dez have. What bothers me is Cole Beasley was a staple of last years game and now he is completely invisible. How did that happen?

No mention of JG?

X he has missed Bease open on multiple throws.... Twill a couple

LG & RT play has been bad.... If you watched the All 22.... You know how bad, you can't mask that. Blogging posted video proof of how bad Chaz was last week.... Cooper gave up numerous plays yesterday. Collins gives up multiple plays a game....

The D is all about 3rd down, nothing more

Speaking of that in the first scoring drive if he takes the ball out of Zekes belly at the goal line he scores untouched.

X something is not working with the offensive line
did teams load the box last year

4 and 10. More than 1 per. RT isn't as bad as some think it has been, but not great.
5 and 6 - I kept hearing how Rico couldn't block so we can't afford to try to use his skills a a receiver, but so far the TEs on the whole have missed a TON of blocks. At least other teams have athletic TEs who can get downfield. Witten is obviously first ballot, but he's just not playing well this year.
8. I have said and will keep saying we need some beef in the middle. I know the zone running supposedly takes out the big guys, but teams with huge DTs still seem to give running games fits.

 

[Doomsdayblitz]

This team is missing Leary badly. He played All-Pro last year, & there is a falloff with Green. Running the read option worked so well last week. Not sure why they went away from it. Will get Irving back this week, so we'll know what we have as a defense over the next few games. I DO blame Marinelli for how he's playing his safeties. I have seen over the last 2 years that many times when a corner gets beat deep, Byron Jones is trailing badly on the play. Either they have him lined up wrong, or he's just not an instinctual FS. He's great at covering one-on-one, & I believe that to be his greatest strength. Heath is an average safety, at best. We need to see who we have in Frazier, if he's healthy.

 

[Ring6]

Online play causing crowded pocket on passing plays and few gaps to run through on running plays. Affecting whole team, even defense.

 

[SHAMSzy]

Heath is an awful safety, at best.

Corrected

Thanks. Just trying to give the guy the benefit.

The timing is just a little off. They look OK physically but the positioning and timing of blocks is just off a little and Zeke is not what he was last season. He is not in top condition.

Cooper struggled to maintain blocks long enough. He didn't get pushed around but DL would shed his block just as the RB arrived.

They're not running as much zone blocking which was their bread and butter since at least 2014.

The TEs have struggle a bit also. Witten loses many blocks now.

If the passing game was just a little better then defenses wouldn't stack the box as much.

Dak looks OK to me. Receivers are just not getting open at the right time and there were at least 4 drops of passes that should have been caught.

I question their route combinations on some plays. Why have everyone run 10 yards+ on a 2nd down play? Dak got hit before anyone had turned around due to 6 pass rushers. Why not have a dump off option and come back for 3rd and short?

 

[Oh_Canada]

No they shouldn't. They need to be more creative with the personnel and Dak needs to calm down and play ball.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

You've heard the old adage of not making two moves to fix one hole in the OL. That's what has happened to our OL. Had Collins not been injured last year, Leary would have been inactive all season. So the logical thing to do was to put Collins back at OG where he started prior to his injury, and Chaz at tackle, which is where he was projected when he was drafted. He was suppose to replace Free. Instead, the one hole that was opened when Free retired, they made 2 moves, and now both positions are weaker. It's not that they are missing Leary, it's that Collins, who Leary backed up, should be back at his OG position.
