DJ Moore blocking

To be honest, Cam didn't trust Moore to make that block as he was going into his slide 5 yards ahead of time not thinking DJ would put #30 on his back.

And Moore didn't even get a "thank you" series on the field for that block. Just like CJ Anderson never saw the field again after his TD.

When guys show up to play and do something well, give 'em a few more reps.

Good news is, that will show on film. They will see it. I'm still optimistic that the coaching staff can recognize that.

 

I also was looking at snap count the other day, and CJ was only in on 4% of snaps. I think you should run at least 10% of our plays with both CJ and CMC in there. He should be getting at least 5 carries a game. I don't like CMC getting 30 touches.

Anyone can see that in the second clip Torrey was meant to rub the first tackler and block the second. I like Cian but just that’s poo stirring for ignorant fans to bite on.

I wondered that and impossible to know without knowing the play, but it seems like the first guy is just a chip to give CMC room to make the catch then CMC is supposed to make him miss then Torrey blocks the second level so it can turn into a big gain if CMC gets past the first guy. I'd love to see Torrey on the bench permanently but not sure that one is on him.

Not sure I love the play design but I see the boom or bust potential. If CMC makes the first guy miss and Thomas and Torrey execute their blocks, CMC has a TD.

That play was intended to get a 1st down and run the clock. Cam got the first and slid because he wanted to go down in bounds to keep the clock running. He didn't care about extra yardage, block or no block. But DJ sure did lay him out!!

Well atleast we know he can block

I think Cam was mad at himself for sliding.

And ill just leave this here of Smith from last week

The numbers aren't there for the screen. Smith is supposed to chip and then move up to the next defender which he does. It is CMC's responsibility to make the first guy miss; if he does that, the next level is blocked and he is sprung for a big gain. 

Surprised the person who tweeted this wasn't aware of that concept.

I get that wasnt his man and its a chip then to block the other guy

Only problem, that "chip" was dam near a swim move around the guy barely putting a hand on him.

A chip is to knock the guy off slightly so CMC can make the move on the guy.

 

By the time CMC catches the ball, turns around.  The guy is already in his face.

 

This chip is about equivalent to those terrible "chips" we complained about Tobert before he left

The implication of the tweet was the Smith completely forgot to block someone. That wasn't the case.

I'd add that I think preseason caused some of us to set our expectations for Ian Thomas a little too high.

You can't expect a fourth-round rookie to come in and immediately be what it took Greg Olsen years to become.

I believe Thomas will get there, but give him time to do so.

This board just wants to assume that all of our draft picks this past year are hall of famers.
