How about pitching the ball out?


Recommended Posts

We obviously have receivers covered deeper-as we get very few long pass route completions (not talking about yards after the catch)...but the constant "ramming the run" seems useless. Never any holes to break though. At least pitching the ball out to Lynch and Jackson gives them some field of vision to use- as opposed to viewing some lineman's fat ass. Let these guys get defenders 1-1 on the outside! Any decent success forces safeties up and gets our receivers 1-1 coverage. Why is the wildcat working? these 220 pound guys have a head of steam and a couple more yards in front of them to make a move! Without a running game- we are destined to let Trent keep getting sacked. 5 Times today? We are going backwards here. Lets get the freaking predicitbility out of the playcalling!

I couldn't agree with you more. Why did they continue to run right at Jenkins?

Especially since the Jets had 7 and 8 in the box all day. At one point they had the inside LB literally shoulder to shoulder. They were ripe for pitches and quick screens and we banged the middle all day...pretty stupid.

This might actually be the first legitimate criticism of playcalling I've read on this board in a few years.

It does seem like the pitchouts work better than our interior OLmen getting mauled.
