This can’t possibly be the case. There’s no RR’s teams are better in the second half or the OL is playing better or the defense is getting turnovers. I refuse to believe that. The only possible answer to our better play is Shepard and Clay playing instead of KB. The only possible reason.

That’s one reason, but not the only.

KB is really bad at blocking period. Clay and Shepard have actually been better in that department (tbh every WR)

But you’re right in that KB is not the only reason.

Im sure a lot of that is just Cam

It's not rushing yards, it's O-line blocking metric.

It's saying first half of the year our backs were getting hit 1.89 yards after they touched the ball, so pretty much right after they get the handoff.

Now they aren't being touched until they've gone 3.74 yards, which is almost two full yards later. 

That's ridiculous.

It’s yards before initial contact for the offensive line. 

Obviously they are playing as a group much better and coming on strong late.

other helping factors are how the defenses are made to back off run blitzing every down and getting in our backfield ever down.

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
