Sweep Plays in Week 2

[bmorepunk]

It seemed like most of the sweep plays and fakes were out of whack. I was pretty uncomfortable watching them unfold at the snap. The Chargers did a good job on keying on them in general. I was wondering if they would get too cute with this play/fake configuration after the Green Bay game, and I think they were at least pushing the envelope a little too much with it.

I forgot to mention that it's obvious this wasn't the difference maker today, although Harvin getting blown up at the end of the game was unsettling.

Both times they ran the jet sweep they were blown up because of missed blocks by Zach Miller.

Yep, he was awful today

Give credit to their guys for getting off blocks and blowing up the plays. All there really is to it. Sometimes the other team does something well, too.

One of the motions where Harvin ran through was bad, he jumped off his timing to miss the snap.

Did Russ keep it any on the play?

How could Zach play so well last week, and be so horrible this week? :187734:

They also didn't actually hand Harvin the ball on the sweep until that last final drive. It was very obvious that they were going to call a jet sweep to Harvin on that play. You just knew they were going to do it. The Bears knew it too.

Can't call it in such an obvious situation.
