8 in the box almost every play...

[renofox]

and 9 more often than 7, and the running game is still doing well overall.

But we can't get the passing game going?
Against THIS secondary?
Sam should be shredding them.
WTF?

Zero respect for Sam

 

[HawkFreak]

Yes. It's time.

 

[Torc]

It's gonna get worse, with Jones out. Darnold will have pressure from both sides now, not just from Bradford's side.

 

[HawkFreak]

Zero respect for Sam

Then it's time to make them pay for that disrespect.

 

[flmmkrz]

its clear theyre shielding sam, but hes gotta be able to keep them honest at least

 

[cdn hawk fan]

With the hawks receivers, they should be maxing out the play action and hitting the tight ends but yet they stay with the run

 

[MontanaHawk05]

The run is going to have to save us. Shanahan knows how to pressure a QB when three of his linemen are turnstiles, regardless of injury to his own crew.

 

[renofox]

They had 9 in the box on that 3rd down fail. Should have been set to go to a pass play.

Kubiak? Darnold?

One of the two isn't performing today.

 

[dbsn2420]

The problem is Darnold is not going to be able to drop back and stand there. They gotta go up temp and create space!

 

[hox]

Passing game time to show up

 

[TOPHawk]

They’ve had eight guys in the box almost every play this drive. Gotta hit this play actions to force them to knock it off. Try that back side pass to Barner they hit during the LA game.

 

[renofox]

Last run to K9 had 9 in the box.

I have yet to see us change to a pass play when facing a stacked box.

I Kubiak not giving Sam the option? Or is he not taking it?

That is the question that we probably will never know the answer to.

 

[Steve Hawk]

They dont think the 9er O can score on us. Just letting the Hawks O grind them down.

 

[Sperrydogg]

Zero respect for Sam

Yeah cause watch him just scan the field back and forth ten times with all day to keep scanning and then spike it off a 6’ tall lineman’s outstretched fingernail… or watch his feet dance around like he’s a penguin auditioning for “Happy Feet 2”

 

[HawkinNY]

I don’t blame Sam as much as I blame the play calling. ESP in the redzone.
