Video version I saw earlier. Was this supposed to be a ZBS version of a screen? Was this the play Russ got hurt on on?

I HATE this ZBS crap. Doesn't work. Need to change.

 

[Cyrus12]

[Jerhawk]

That's embarrassing

I believe Russell was in the shotgun for the play he was hurt on.

They are doing exactly what Tom teaches them to do. It works sooo wonderfully!!

Stick with him Pete...he won't take you down with him.....

 

[brimsalabim]

even had the bad snap not occurred it's blanketed.... Seriously some one has to be fired for plays like these. We have them weekly!

People are comparing our oline to the Kansas Jayhawks oline.

 

[Hawks46]

Lol at first glance I thought that was the Titans' OL cut blocking our DL.

I count 5 on 5. The defensive tactics used reminds me of those that were finally employed to neutralize JR Sweezy in his final Seahawk year. The tactic is to force a missed first strike by offensive lineman and then follow up with a counter move.

An ongoing and woefully under addressed question may be ........ does the better athleticism of today's faster and quicker and slipper defenders negate the reliability and effectiveness of cut blocks and reach blocks?

This article explains this play as well as has insight from former NFL lineman Geoff Schwartz.

Justin Britt lost a contact lens. Everyone else, good teammates that they are, are helping look for it.

This is past the point of embarrassing, and its now moved into just straight comical.

 

[GeekHawk]

And I bring this to your attention, from the article:

"This is less about the whiffed blocks, which is more a function of the a poorly designed play."

Poorly. Designed. Play.

 

[IrishNW]

I don't really see the problem. There is HUGE passing lanes and if russ does not drop the snap he can hit PR on a WR screen. Again whats the problem?

 

[oldhawkfan]

They are trying the speed bump method of slowing down the defense.

When I said "Get The Play Down, I Didn't Mean For Y'all To GET DOWN

 

[Coug_Hawk08]

It’s things like this that make me seriously question Cables competency. It’s a bad design.

And yet, nfl people always seem to say he is great.

 

[brimsalabim]

Maybe the play is designed this way? I'm sure the office has a key employee policy on Russell. Maybe the goal is to collect?
