Re: Crazy cool breakdown of the Phins game
Ok after checking out just the part on Portis I have to completely disagree. First off the "General rule of thumb" is correct and his initial movements are correct as he identified Taylor as the likliest person to get to the QB since he probably could not immediately identify Thomas coming out from behind the DL. When he does notice Thomas he makes the adjustment but is simply too late. He seems to assert that Portis is poor at pass blocking while I know for a fact that he is considered among the best in the game at it. The only key to this play was Taylor's jump. It set in motion a domino effect that led to Jansen's injury. Without that jump Portis is able to step forward in the pocket and identify Thomas earlier and in better position. He likely get s a better block and probably no sack or injury. His analysis is simply wrong on this.
