U-G-L-Y

[csx]

I won't argue that Kalil isn't absolutely awful at run blocking more than anything. 

Thing is it doesn't look like he even tries.

[Jon Snow]

Ugly is the perfect term for this offense.  Even when they manage to win it's U-G-L-Y.

[Woodie]

Looks like Stewart's the one that missed the block.  Kalil had no chance from the start, but Stewart just kind of flung out his arm and kept on going.  I wondered if he thought it was a pass play or something.

And nobody's making the defender miss in that situation.

What is stew doing on this play? Makes me wonder if half the guys even know the play call just like that one last week.

[SmokinwithWilly]

Kalil almost looked like he was supposed to chip and release into the flat. Excellent play call, no one would ever see that coming.

[Vagrant]

this was a straight up gimmick play and probably what Shula classifies as "creativity." pulling the interior line to the other side of the LOS to sell an end around that was designed to send the defensive momentum to the other side of the field. unfortunately that means that Ed Dickson and Matt Kalil are in charge of identifying the most immediate threat to the ball carrier which is going to end badly for you. knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your players and designing plays that emphasize those strengths is what makes an OC great. not much more to be said.

stewart's a check down/option in this play...he's even turning around to see if the ball is coming his way.

matt kalil is supposed to block...

...but i'm not sure who came up with that bright idea.

waaaay too many moving parts.

This is why it’s pointless for the average fan to be speculating on play design, because who knows what the O-line’s assignment is supposed to be...I mean this is exactly why professional O-linemen have criticized PFF’s O-line grades.

If it were consistently anyone but Matt Kalil, maybe it’s somewhat more believable...but when 9/10 of these GIFs with questionable blocking can be attributed to him, then at some point you have to figure maybe he’s just clueless out there.

[rodeo]

it literally looks like Kalil is running a route lol

[panthers34]

I blame Stewart much more for letting an LB cross his face untouched. That seems like an unreasonable block to ask any LT to make and I just don't understand how Stewart could run by that LB 

[Jangler]

this is all on Stew.

Horrible play design. We also had both guards pulling to the opposite side just to sell the fake.

This play wasn't going anywhere if srew was suppose to be blocking he sure was alot further up...like he is looking for the ball.

Yep. Cam decides these options.

Anyone notice this is either miscommunication or a called QB buck sweep.

 

We have two guards pulling away from the action from the run play.  

 

Now, if you want to talk about complicated or too complex or getting too cute. Here is that example.

Same play we used with Ginn for all those years.

Only issue is that we now have Matt Kalil who can’t block a fly.
