[quote=CRedskinsRule;1120986]Disagree when multiple players go down. Maybe its a GM issue because he didn't bring in blocking/St TEs to replace blocking/St TEs.

Sent from my S6 Edge[/quote]Its also a GM issue I agree there. But, again for me going into a game knowing the TEs you have aren't great blockers then to put them in positions to make critical blocks, is a coaching mistake.

I would like to see some runs from a spread look as 30 mentioned. And stretching the field, even if we dont connect.

I would also like to give Reed and Carrier time before we reach a verdict. While both seem to have "receiver" type bodies, i dont think they did that bad.

Which is exactly what you want if you are going to run the spread/west coast/air coryell systems. It's going to take time to build depth. This isn't about coming out week 1 and shutting down every team we play. We're just trying to build a foundation so that in a year or two we have a full roster with quality NFL players. Seems like everyone forgets that. It's the same mentality everyone got on Snyder about. It doesn't happen overnight.

I think as Cousins settles in and if the OL continues to hold their own, we will see more of that. Coming in to week 1, those were huge question marks that you have to be careful with in game planning.

[quote=30gut;1120858]I understand that they were the only TEs available (which is a different issue on its own). But I would say going into a game [I]knowing[/I] those were the only TEs available and that neither are good blockers then you shouldn't call plays that force them to make critical blocks in the run game. You make adjustments. For example GB and Seattle both use 3 wide receivers a RB and FB in I or Offset I and no TE in their run game. That's an adjustment.

Putting players in position where they are overmatched is how you end up with holding penalties from the TE spots and some failed runs due to their failed blocks.

The TE blocking is an issue they have to figure out becuase the next the Ram's actually have a good run defense unlike the Miami's whose run defense is only average.[/quote]

The only plays where a TE isn't blocking is a pass play where they are running a route.

If Gruden stopped calling runs with our TEs in the game you guys would bash him for being too predictable and being a dumb ass.

There are always ways to get around it. Put in D Young to be an H Back or FB, he can run block, pass block, and go out for a pass. Reed can be a TE or WR since he already splits out some. Since D jax is injured, it makes some sense to go about it that way. It just requires Jay to step out of his comfort zone of his base system. Most plays can be run with that personnel without tipping your hand. Can show power sets and do both pass or run, or passing sets and do both pass or run since Reed can line up anywhere.

Anthony McCoy is a great blocker and threat downfield. He will see increased playing time and if he stays healthy. He will end Paulsen career in Washington

Also. I don't like Andre DROPerts either but he's our best route runner on the 2nd/3rd level and reads the ball well in the air till it hits his hands. He's even better than Garcon when it comes to adjusting to the ball in the air. Until late we can replace him. It'll be tough to bench him.

tl;dr:

[quote]Cousins was not perfect. He definitely made some mistakes, but overall he performed well in Jay Gruden’s quick-concept offense. All he needs now is more time to develop in game-time situations.[/quote]

Re: Good, bad and ugly. Post game reactions vs Dolphins
 

[quote]But a few steps later and Jarrett appeared to give up on the play, allowing Landry to finish off the return for a touchdown.

It might appear to be slightly harsh criticism on Jarrett, but it’s more about the mentality of the team. It was unlikely that Jarrett would have been able to prevent the touchdown, but good teams don’t think about it being unlikely. The good teams believe that’s an opportunity to make a play, to save a touchdown. A lot of the time they might not be able to make the play. But occasionally they might just make a tackle at the one-yard line to save the touchdown and give the defense a chance to keep it to a field goal. The good teams never give up on a play until the whistle blows.[/quote]

Ouch..

4 unblocked guys and the return man runs right through them. They need to be replaced. Until then I would tell the punter to kick toward one side line or another, you don't get the distance, but the kicks will be easier to cover and the net may end up better than on a longer kick.
