Jville":2h8cayek said:The author of the article is describing a running back who didn't get to the correct gap on a correctly blocked play. The run coordinator has stated many times that the running back must get to the correct gap. What the running back does after he gets thru the hole is up to him. That is the understanding he has with Marshawn Lynch and that is what he expects from all running backs.

I see the B gap Keith Myers is talking about. I also see the path to the end zone. I see Keith's analysis of this play as solid..

I wouldn't call this getting blown back as you repeatedly said. Also the guy Britt is blocking is falling down forward as you can see he is nearly bent all the way over in the second to last picture. What I see here is that Turbin runs right into him and is tackled. The play was designed to run off the back of Britt and Willson who both sealed the left side of the hole. You can tell that because you see their backs in just about every pic. Bailey is pulling and seals off the right Isolde of the hole along with Baldwin. Both blocking to their right. The all-22 won't show a huge hole like in the Richardson pic, but it will show the backs of his blockers sealing the left and right sides of a normal size hole that an NFL running back should expect to see and run through. All defenders to the end zone were accounted for and correctly blocked and it should have been a TD easy.

You've got a hat for every defender on that side except for the safety. As a RB, you're not watching what happens with Britt or Bailey, you're feeling the second and third level defenders, which to me dictate staying playside.

You really have to watch the actual play . . . the pictures do not do it justice in showing Britt suddenly getting knocked back by Wolfe, who makes the tackle. Britt had an initial push on the play, but then was pushed back behind the line of scrimmage, closing off the cut back lane that I think Turbin saw on the left side.
I am looking forward to seeing a forward angle on this play from the All-22, which I think will be definitive.
