eSJayDee Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Watching the game on tape & what I believe is our last possession of the 3rd qtr, the last play is a sack. (Wow, hard to believe, huh?) Anyway, my observation/comment is this - 4 man front, Jets send 6 or maybe only 5. The LDE & LOLB are coming in unimpeded, L.Smith 'pulls' from his LG position to pick of the innermost charging LDE, which still leaves the OLB w/ a clear shot at Bledsoe. (If there was a 6th rusher he comes up the left middle & is picked by the RB) Now what's worse than having Smith trying to peel out to pick up the DE, is that MW shifts to the inside & BLOCKS NO ONE ('cuz there's no one there).

Mike in Syracuse Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I saw the same thing and I'm still waiting for someone/anyone to explain it to me. It almost appears that Williams and Smith were pulling and going in OPPOSITE FUGGIN DIRECTIONS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I'd chalk it up to miscommunication, poor fundamentals, lack of talent, and lack of focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I'd chalk it up to miscommunication, poor fundamentals, lack of talent, and lack of focus. How is it lack of talent? I'll buy the other three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep going back to what Lori said that BADOL said once about how we have 'talent' but we don't have 'players'. Maybe that's it. IF these guys are indeed talented, they are not showing it with much consistency on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Actually, I was the L Smith move later in the game as well. If I were to speculate, it's either designed to be like a misdirection cue to fool the blitzers that it's an outside running play or they think Smith can cover 10 yards to block the DE better than MW can cover 10 feet (That'd be sad).

I would think that Big Mike and Jennings lack the desire to excel. Btw, did you ( or others) think that we lost much with Tucker at center? Mistakes notwithstanding, I failed to see much of a difference between him and Teague, and I was specifically watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a pretty good blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
