I could watch again but I wasn't seeing holes on many of the plays where he didn't get through the line.hawknation2015":1j8pg5f6 said:He also doesn't read the play or his blockers very well. There were a couple players where that was particularly evident.
On this play, which I mentioned in a different thread, I feel a better RB would have read his blockers to the left sideline, running off the TE, as opposed to diving head first into an unblocked DT. I think Marshawn, in particular, would have gone for a first down by reading this run off the TE.
This is Cable's quote about working with Marshawn
Because this is a system that asks backs to do things a certain way. Once you get in and through the line of scrimmage, then do your thing. You can do all the craziness you want then. But you've got to do it this way from A to B. And he bought in from A to B. And after that, what you do from C on is you.
What I see is Cable telling his RB to hit a hole, the problem is what if there is no hole to hit in the gap that they are suppose to hit, this is where Lynch is very incredible in. There were so many times where we think Lynch is hit at the LOS but he keeps churning and always move forward, and most of the time he would shed that first block like nothing. Our Backups can't do that, they rely more on their speed to hit those holes.
