Fadingpain Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I don't think the "he literally didn't block me" play is a function of an OL choosing to let his QB get hammered. Rather, it is a function of an OL sucking ass and being completely whiffed on that play. I think Bosa's choice of words is strange relative to the play though. It's NOT like Mills didn't TRY to block him...he just sucks. A more accurate comment from Bosa would have been something like "I'm too fast for Mills; he can't keep up with me" or something like that.

'he literally didn't block me. not, 'he couldn't block me' or' he was out of place and couldn't block me'. rather it was stated three times, 'he didn't block me'. a college graduate, i think he knows what he meant.

If someone would do something like that they need to be cut not benched Nope. this is Juan Castillo all darned day. oh and he blows almost as much as Vlad. This has amazed me all season and why i hate what Dennison and Castillo have done here. hate is a strong word. thats i why i used it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 It isn't a Taylor or Peterman thing it's a Mills thing. Don't let the two pictures fool you. Taylor was flattened in less than 2 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this is almost the worst possible combination. Wood and Groy seem (since they both just signed this training camp and offseason) to be the only two sure O lineman on the team next year . You would think the HC has plan to play them together at some point OR never? I get that Groy is very valuable as a backup being that he is 2nd man up in all 3 interior positions, and that's huge when it comes to a 53 but something has to give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor was flattened in less than 2 seconds. This doesn't look as fast as Bosa was in there. This seems like a cherry pick too. Mills I know is bad but he was especially bad on Sunday. When you can only stand up and block your guy 50% of the time for less than 2 seconds there is a huge problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Until they fix the line, and they won't/cannot. they might as well ruin Tyrod. who wont be defeated. But also can't overcome the piss poor staffing in Coaching, and WRs as well as creating a semblance of continuity and purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 32 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Go look at the clip again. Go to 59 sec and advance to 1 minute. It's not that he kind of didn't block him, he was totally set in the wrong place. Wrong protection called, or wrong adjustment to a different protection due to D shift right before the snap. Don't attribute to malice what's adequately explained by incompetence. The "something rotten" here is two OLmen either getting the protection wrong, or not getting their role in the protection. Because it's pretty clear it's not that they aren't executing, it's that they're in the wrong place doing the wrong thing to be able to execute. Idk, man. The way Tyrod was running around with his helmet on, it seems like he might have known what was up. I mean, Peterman was not even finished dropping back when some of these guys were let in. Sure it happened to Tyrod, but not on every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take me with a big salt shaker because I'm no OL maven but doesn't it look like he's set in the wrong place for the formation he's facing - too close in to Ducasse and positioned wrong to be effective? This was last year MNF so it's Mills, it's not something Castillo is coaching him to do. Anyway very similar play and protection breakdown. Good find and QED. 4 minutes ago, Paulus said: Idk, man.
