It feels like the hype around our Run blocking should have been for pass blocking.

It seems we are still having a tough time getting some real good push in the run game. Yet we heard a great deal about them being steam rollers all over and the power up the middle.... well that clearly hasn't been the case.

Instead, our pass protection has been outstanding. Cam has had plenty of time and has been pretty clean for the most part. Shula's long developing pass plays have been successful because we finally have provided him and Cam some guys who can protect him. It has been unbelievably refreshing to see Cam stand comfortably and scan the field. I hope it continues as the better defenses show up.

 

I don't think we've been awful or anything in the run game, I just don't think the run blocking has been as good as we hoped it would be.

 

What are your thoughts?

Oher and Turner's ability in run blocking may show at times but if we had a balanced receiving/blocking TE2 , the run game would greatly benefit (but I like Dickson for what he is).  I'd love to find a big TE2 sometime soon.  That would be huge for Cam because I can tell we have a place for a Dickson type role but with even more targets.

teams are stacking the box, just like last year early until the emergence of kb,plus olsen had a career year then teams had no choice but to back off, our run game began to flourish then. i expect the same this year, until our receivers outside olsen prove they require more attention we will see a stack box, that is also why we match up horrible with sea

I thought Turner's run blocking was really good?

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
