Play Analysis: The Jarwin missed block

[xwalker]

Disclaimer: I'm only interested in what happened.
- Trolls save your keystrokes...I know that Jarwin should have made a better block.
- I also know that trolls know how to type "He Sucks".
- In this thread I don't care which players sucked.
- Having said that, if you post that Jaylon sucked then I'll give you a like for being correct.

There were more issues on that play than just a simple missed block by Jarwin.

• Read-Option
  • The read-option is designed around the concept of 1 "free rusher".
  • Dak had 2 free rushers in his face.
  • Tyron and Schultz both ended up blocking the same player, LB White.
  • Either Tyron or Schultz should have blocked 1 of the 2 free rushers.

• Jarwin's Blocking Angle
  • Jarwin intentionally attempted to block the defender Adams to keep him to the outside.
  • That indicates that the play design was for the ball carrier to run inside of Jarwin/Adams.
  • A keep and run by Dak would be inside of Jarwin/Adams.
  • Zeke cutting straight upfield instead of to the sideline would be inside of Jarwin/Adams.

• Zeke
  • Zeke didn't immediately head towards the pylon.
  • He made 1 step forward as if he was going to run to the inside of Jarwin.
  • His next steps were towards the sideline.
  • Then he cut back straight upfield but it was too late.
  • His only chance would have been to choose a direction and run in only that direction.
  • The multiple cuts just slowed him down.

• Conclusion:
  • The play design was broken once there were 2 unblocked free rushers in Dak's face.
  • However, the broken play still had a change if:
    • Jarwin just delayed Adams by 1 extra step.
    • Zeke didn't cut up then out then up again.

I saw the same thing with Zeke on the re-play not being decisive on that run with the multiple change of direction cuts.
It looked like he had a better chance with a hard inside cut up the field or just try to take the corner.
He said "He should have switched the ball to the left hand so he had something to fight with" can't disagree with that either.

Thanks for pointing out that Jarwin missed the block and Zeke couldnt make a guy miss.

Ahhh, the rest of the story. Good review.

Zeke's hesitation was painful. If he picks a direction and goes, he may not have scored, but it might be 4th-and-1 instead of 4th-and-3. I think in that case, even McCarthy would realize he should go for it.

The cb had already jumped outside of jarwin before pitch....it was his responsibilty in the def they were in..

Cut and paste.....lol...keyboard coach

 

[Tangle_Foot]

There was a time when Zeke would have just planted his foot and took it inside with half the population of Tampa hanging on for dear life

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Emmitt had big bodied TE's and WR's in our Superbowl years. Zeke gained over 1600 yards as a rookie with big bodied TE and WR. Coincidence? I think not. It's a physical game. So if we outlast or over power our opponents, we win.

Explain to me again why there are weight classes in boxing. Because Mike Tyson vs Sugar Ray is no contest, right? Size and physicality matters.

 

[Cowpolk]

Cool same thing all over again

 

[nalam]

The cb had already jumped outside of jarwin before pitch....it was his responsibilty in the def they were in..

Also the safety winfield Jr was not fooled he was tracking zeke . Even zeke cut inside and fight the DB he may have gotten close but not in. But as JD-kapow said it would be 4&1 and easy on Mac to go for it .

Jarwin was taking an inside step at this point.
- He would not do that if the play was designed to go wide outside.
- Obviously Adams had outside contain responsibility.
- Zeke's took an initial step or more like half step towards Jarwin then cut back towards the sideline.
- I assume that Zeke saw the 2 free rushers and decided the inside was too crowed.
- It comes back to the fact that the read-option concept is based on only 1 free rusher.

It brings me great joy when you reply to my posts. Seriously, it's fun for me.

Jarwin should have made a better block. "He Sucks".

Jaylon was great. Clear Eye View. Vet Life... Watch the tape.

This picture depict what I have been saying ,look at 31. He is working towards outside corner while keeping eyes on Dak and Zeke, and no one to cut him off.

Zeke should have cut in. Jarwin should have blocked better. I thought that was the clear consensus.

Looks to me that Jarwin is playing it both ways knowing the run could go in or out. However, when Zeke went to the outside, the safety broke to get him and Jarwin did not maintain good position by sliding out to get a block on him. I do think Jarwin was expecting the run to go inside, so he overcommitted to that even though the safety had not committed to where he was going.

That was my opinion originally; however, after reviewing it multiple times Jarwin intentionally stepped to the inside of Adams at the point shown in the image I posted.

About the same time that Jarwin stepped inside, Zeke headed outside and that basically double-up on Jarwin over-committing to the inside because Adams was taking himself outside at that point.
