The plan for better pass protection

[GoHawks]

Is it just me or is Unger not playing well either?....I re-watched the game last night and all is saw was backwards motion from him, even on runs.

Unger's play has suffered, but more importantly . . he's been low snapping way too often, and that alone is costing RW at least 1sec of time to observe the pass rush and make his reads

I guess this is where the discussion actually is. I'll repeat my thoughts, not that they are valuable necessarily.

The coaching staff needs to return to its run commitment, regardless of how many players the defense stacks in the box.

I am going to bang this drum repeatedly. They put eight or nine in the box? Come out in 22 and run the ball anyway.

Amen Brutha!

I heard people saying about St Loius "But they had 8 and 9 in the box!" BFD! They did the same thing to SF and FRANK GORE RAN FOR 153 yards on 7.7 yards per carry! Kendall Hunter ran for 49 yards at 4.5 YPC! F that!

RUN the FRIGGIN BALL!

And another thing! I'm glad we won but the reason I'm pissed is because we still have 8 more games! One of which is against St Louis who we lost to last year then barely beat at home! That game plan Monday was pathetic!

Edit: Instead they come out and start throwing against what is likely the best pass rushing team in the league when we are missing both tackles! IDIOCY!

yeah, Marshawn has a right to be angry. If we had wanted to run the ball, we should have been able to run the ball. 22 formation and pound them into submission.

Agreed. I saw him miss a rusher on a stunt up the middle that was pretty pathetic.

I think part of it is that unfortunately with Wilson's height it's harder for him to make a quick pass on a 3-step drop because he doesn't have great visibility over the line. A 6'4" QB is going to have a much easier time with a very quick step & throw just because his vision is not as impaired.

Brees says he can't see when he hits those quick slant routes. He just knows exactly where his WR is. Wilson is so conservative in order to avoid mistakes that I don't think Pete lets him find that kind of trust in Baldwin.

Brees throws to a spot where he knows his receiver will be. This obviously takes great preparation which RW is known for so I look forward to him developing.
