Livinginthepast Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Have I missed something here? Why do we never do a sneak? Is our O line that terrible? Do they not get a good push? Are our Qbs that fragile? When Tom "princess" Brady can do them so effectively (without damage) it seems kind of ridiculous that we would worry about QBs getting hurt. There were at least 3 or 4 instances in that game (ESP the false start play) when Orton should have snapped the ball quick and sneaked it. I cannot even remember when we last did a sneak in a regular season game! So what gives here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yes, the o-line is that terrible. Also, Kyle Orton is as athletic as a sloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brady is the best I've ever seen at that play, and as immobile as he is, he's still far more athletic than Orton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm pretty sure the Chiefs were playing A-Gaps on that with no one heads up on Wood at Center. Thats perfect for a quick sneak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Per Jeremy White on GR this morning, the QB sneak works close to 87% of the time when you need a yard or less. They also said that at one point, Tom Brady was successful with the sneak 58 consecutive times. Yet, Marrone never uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagentqb Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I think a good play would be to sneak the ball after giving the impression that we were trying to pull them offsides. First, make sure we had the time then run off about 5 to 10 seconds doing all the hard counts and motion stuff, let the defense relax a bit and sit back on their heels (which they do) and then run a quick QB sneak to whatever side of center looks best.

dubs Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yes, the o-line is that terrible. Also, Kyle Orton is as athletic as a sloth. You don't need to be athletic to take a snap from center and fall forward. Jeez. QB sneaks are about timing and direction. That's all. That's why they are nearly impossible to stop. You find the gap pre snap and the defense can't possibly react in time to stop the offense from gaining a a few feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 In case anyone had doubts, Fred Jackson confirmed earlier today that the plan was to try for the offsides and there was no play to run. I'd love to know whether the plan was to call a timeout or take the delay of game penalty. Both options are dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doesn't help Orton's cause that the interior of the offensive line gets immediately pushed back 1-2 yards after the snap. What, is he supposed to dive off-tackle? Come on!
