Also, it is time to retire this play. Never works and only gets Cam hit.

Add no consistent running game to the list. I've never seen so many bad exchanges on running plays. CAP and Cam seem to be totally out of sync and I don't see any burst from Tolbert. 

When have you ever seen burst from Tolbert?

I'd have to agree.

If Stewart is back, I'd rather see Artis-Payne in Tolbert's role.

Hate to say it, but we probably need a new RB next year.

Yup, many examples in years past - not running behind his pads and no leg drive these days.

What the hell are 10 and 60 doing on this play? Maybe we are being too hard on Shula. Execution has been piss poor in these screen shots.

Fault also lies on 1 for not giving the ball to 35. All the receivers are blocking (well all but 10)

3rd and 5, looking for Olsen, never gets off him. KB and Dickson open. 

Remmers destroyed on spin move here. 

 

pass incomplete, Cam hit. 

remmers is our new byron bell

Brown expected a screen pass. Isnt that what it looks like? He immediately turns and expects a pass. Even puts his hands out!

 

So, was that a busted play or were people not on the same page?

Lmao at philly. He's just kind of there lmao. Cam doesn't trust them at all and he doesn't trust himself. I agree with you about this being an execution effort as well. Sometimes it's like they don't practice the game plan.

Defenses have learned to play Cam, no fear of anyone else running the ball on our team with Stew out. You can see they've assigned two players to read Cam from the moment the ball is snapped. 

Cam read this poorly, should have recognized Beasley was playing him all the way. Williams did his job by getting to the 2nd level but missed his block. 

Oh and notice Philly, Olsen passes off # 22 and Philly is supposed to engage, but never does.

He's faking the screen to stall the defenders, then he's supposed to go get a block and never does.

Pre-injury.

[BIGH2001]

For a supposed running team it is embarrassing how few resources have actually been used to create a viable running game.

[chknwing]

you are witnessing undisciplined football lacking fundamentals.  execution is poor.

[gmonjimbo]

Might be time to abandon the read option completely. If they want to run Cam, then do direct runs. It would be nice to have a RB that can handle the bulk load of carries. I like the combination that the Falcons have in Coleman and Freeman. Also, as many have already mentioned, Tolbert is done. All he does is get stoned in the backfield and he can not block.
