Einstein Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 1 hour ago, Captain_Quint said: I think we ran it 4 times last night and got a first each time. Except the last time (to seal the game). I wouldn’t have called that there (and said so in the game thread). We typically get at least a half yard on the shove, but that was a long full yard, and we don’t always get that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Just now, TheFunPolice said: Josh's jump/surf move takes his size and strength out of the equation and probably limits the effectiveness of the play. Once he's on some guys back he's nowhere near the same threat to push forward and much easier to stop. Completely agree. Him trying to leap up in the air lost him his legs and leverage. I like how he shifts over to a B gap but stop jumping and get a giant olineman in there behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the league has already said they are addressing it in the offseason, so it's as good as gone once the playoffs end. Definitely did not get a first when on the attempt that would've got the Bills a first down and ended the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 League wide the play is no longer an automatic 1st down, although it's still very successful. We failed to convert on it twice last night. So at the end of the day, it's like a QB sneak that almost always works but not always. Best way to defend it? Don't get into 3rd or 4th and less than a yard on defense.

QB sneak is always an option, but the push from behind is what will go away. Unfair advantage, I guess? Not really sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I hope they come up with some sort of fake off that play cause defenses are 100% selling out on it…. Obviously use if we are up and on the opposing team half of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I see no reason to ban this play unless stats show injuries happen more often. So what if the little eaglets are good with it? It's spectacular in its own way in the sheer amount of muscle energy expended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a counter if we get that look again. Maybe a quick pitch to someone in motion or a TE sneaking out from a faux block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 He goes to the left every time. I understand that's our best side of the line but if we notice it then the other teams notice it and will stack the biggest mofos on the team on that side for any future short yardage plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plano Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 1 hour ago, Kaenon said: We missed it twice including the 4th down that gave the Dolphins the ball back with about 2 minutes to go in the game that was a first down. should have gone to review. they also blew the whistle WAY too early as the pile was still moving. that's poor officiating not a flaw of the play. keep doing it.

Where everyone has in their head get as low as possible, then *BERMAN WHOOP* Josh goes over the pileup. Would like to see him leave it in 1 of every 4 or 5. Just makes defense hesitate a little about getting low which makes things easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettFavre Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Let's talk Josh Push. Miami put up the best resistance yet. They fully packed the middle and surged ferociously (Wilkins finally had a good game against us). But it's nearly unstoppable and I love that they're willing to do it twice in a row now and on our side of the field. It could win the Super Bowl if they continue to hone it. The jump version worked once late and then got stuffed on the crucial 4th. I don't love that version except to dunk on the goal line. I like the slight delay off guard version. Hear me out...we should supercharge the push with even heavier personnel (before they ban it this off-season). Look at the replay of the failed one - of the three guys in the backfield, Shakir and Lenny do nothing and Gilliam only gets a brief push (Wilkins blew this one up almost singlehandedly.) Put Ed, DaQuan, and David Edwards back there to push instead. 300 lbs more and I'd guess 4x the leg power. Everyone knows it's coming, so disguise doesn't matter. It would never be stopped. Be shameless with it. (Full disclosure: I'm a rugby player and have been stumping for stuff like the push forever. I also wanted us to train Marshawn to take QB sneak snaps, unstoppable.)
