Skins game head scratchers

[DeaconMoss]

-Trent Murphy beat Tyron Smith easily around the edge for a sack. Let that sink in.

-Doug Free. Enough said.

-Zeke fumbled the ball twice.

-Onside Kick

-Two times inside the 10, Dez had the back shoulder wide open and they throw two jump balls instead

-Andrew Gachkar lined up on DJax

-Geoff Swaim looks real funny running. Long strider to the point he looks like he will fall

-Barry Church got an interception

-Inside the 5 shovel pass to Zeke. That was one ugly play.

-4 DL on the field at once. No DE's

-57 yarder to Doctson. That was the worse coverage I have ever seen. 3 guys chased DJax and left him alone.

-Not allowing Jones to follow Reed

-JJ Wilcox was in the game

-Morris Claiborne PI call

-Twill and Butler had 0 catches and 0 targets

-Skins refusing to follow Dez with Norman

-Skins forcing the ball to Doctson on the fade route in the end zone 3 times

People think we have coaching problems..........throwing the fade route 3 times to a rookie in the redzone for it to result in a interception is just moronic.

And then to just kill any confidence Breeland had in defending Dez last few seasons....in just two weeks they've ruined Breeland.

 

[erod]

Claiborne has been tremendous this season. Give the guy some credit.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Actually, Butler did have a pass thrown his way, but it was not completed.

 

[Phoenix]

-Andrew Gachkar lined up on DJax

This might have been a broken coverage in the secondary, not sure. But on that play, Church was blitzing. Maybe that's why, but again, without having reviewed the play, not entirely sure.

 

[MileyDancer]

As much as I loathe Garrett, that onside kick was a good call, and finally a GUTSY one. Had it worked, it woukd have been a genius move.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Smith short set and missed. Happens.

Swaim was having issues with his footing like many others were.

What did Wilcox do wrong? He continues to tackle well when needed.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I agree. The PI call was terrible.

Good Adjustments, any adjustments would have been better than that onside kick call.

Yep, they are getting roasted today and there's grumbling in the locker room. We all suspected they were a mirage last year and it looks like the were.

It's a shame the Saints couldn't have beaten the Giants yesterday. They shut them down offensively but they just couldn't get the ball into the end zone probably because of the Giants improved defense. Next week--

NY vs Washington.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Just Wilcox played well. That's a head scratcher !

It was not a good call. The one thing you don't want to do is put your cruddy defense in a situation where their back is already up against the wall.

You kick it deep there and make the Skins drive the length of the field. They are more likely to make a mistake and help out the defense on a long field as opposed to a short field.

 

[DenCWBY]

The skins are just a slightly worse version of us. They have some talent but they are not coached, organized and put into position to be consistently effective to win more than 2 or 3 games in a row. Our red zone offense is so predicable it's scary. 1st down fad to Dez, 2nd down run up the middle, 3rd down spread, QB rolls to right and throws out of bounds, 4th FG and repeat.
Lastly those teams with defenses that can stop or control the run game are going to be playing in January and February. Opposing offenses have already found our weakness which is running straight north and south on us no matter how many we have in the box. We can't stop the run against a good veteran offense, we're done. Cousins arm/head is the exception. Just wait until we go against a mobile QB.

Giants look legit. Their DLine is nice

 

[Sydla]

Wilcox was out of position on a few deeper throws by Cousins couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

Difference is Both 1st down throws to Dez are TD's when 9 is at the helm. Dak needs to work on that back shoulder throw to Dez in the endzone. Weird thing is he hit it several times in the PS.

It was an easy cover if Bailey didn't shank it. Great call, just didn't get executed.

Like I said why is he in the game?

 

[reddyuta]

THat PI was a terrible call but Mo got bailed out in the end zone when he grabbed garcon ,even then it would have been a Td if Cousins was accurate.

I think he gambled bc he didn't trust the defense to stop them anyway.
