Gabe Davis Miscommunication Plays this season

Recommended Posts

Gabe is going to cost too much to retain and I feel his spot can be upgraded, but I'm going to defend him here.

 

He ran the correct route.  It's just that he an Allen don't have that kind of chemistry to know what the other is thinking.

 

Rodgers to Adams, for example, and that's a TD.

He was a step or two behind and to the inside.  A throw to the inside brings him more into the play.  
 

That play could have won the game.  But it didn’t lose the game.

he was turned around and chasing.  He was beat immediately.  HIs best bet would have been a PI.  

 

The eagles gambled and won.  They knew exactly what they were doing played the odds and won.

OMG.

 

Why do you think the options are built into the play?  Its not about chemistry its about seeing the pressure and making the adjustment.

Yes, it could be on Josh.  But again, wouldn’t it be happening more with other receivers?  Why is it consistently Gabe on the other end?

It's not on Josh this time.  When a heavy blitz is called..which was obvious...you pay attention to the qb.  Gabe had blown past his coverage and didn't even look back once.

We are not going to agree on this

the broncos just beat the bills late with the same situation.  Bills brought pressure, the wr adjusted and ran the go route/9 route whatever and wilson threw it short only to have johnson run directly into him because he was beat immediately, had his back turned and commited the PI.

 

the same thing would have happened here had davis gone inside...its either a simple catch for a game winner or a PI giving them first and goal.  

 

This is not some 50/50 thing.  The eagles were beat on the play and Davis screwed it up.

There is not an option built into every play.  Gabe had his man beat.  Josh could have thrown to the corner for the TD as well, albeit a harder throw.

I'm in the minority but I'm not going to bash Davis on these one-off plays. He does a lot more good than bad, and is not even close to the top of our List of Problems.

 

He was fine when he caught the go-ahead TD with 1:50 remaining, and just needing our D to get a stop.

 

I dont think we should give him a big 2nd contract, but I'm not making him my whipping boy over these small things. McDermott has more than earned that title.

That is not how the offense is run.  There is an option there.  The bills use routes with options.  

 

He is not going to hang in there and throw to the corner when the play is built to go inside when the pressure comes and the safety is beat.  The corner route is to get away from the safety and beat a zone defense by creating an angle and space where the ball is thrown to the boundary so that only the wr has the play on the ball.  In a typical zone defense the corner would be underneath and the safety breaking to the corner when its thrown.   You know like how the broncos scored on the 4th and goal a few weeks ago

 

This was not a zone defense.  It was an all out calculated gamble they got beat on and Davis blew it.

The options are inside or outside 

the options are about pressure and the location of the safety or vs a zone the location of sitting corner or dropping linebacker.

 

its not just inside or outside.  Its a number of things.  

 

Tonights play was made by Allen and he should have had a 5th td and a game winner.

Allen had a great game.  And without Davis in regulation we have no chance to win.  But if we are going to criticize Davis for one play we can also criticize Josh for that pick.

Correct, it’s just always Allen to Gabe and it’s happened SEVERAL times this season. 
 

 

Allen and Diggs always seem to be on the same page. I can’t remember an INT or big negative play due to miscommunication between them.

 

Davis and Allen are constantly not on the same page. Occam’s razor says Gabe is the problem.
