He's an idiot. When we played the Rams last week, they schemed to get Gurley outside 1 on 1 on Bradberry by completely sealing off the DL/LBs and it worked, they sealed us off well. We did not do that at all. Even the announcers mentioned that we didn't get those two Tampa defenders inside sealed off. That means that unlike Gurley last week, CMC had no chance to cut inside for the easy walk in, he had to get outside Hargreaves when he's behind Hargreaves to start. If you seal off the other guys, the RB can go in multiple directions. If you block like we did, CMC gets half his options cut off and gets forced to beat a guy to the corner who's already outside him.

Right, looking at that screencap it looks like he is going to have to outrun another elite athlete with speed who has a head start or try to cut back where it would be 3v1. We didn't block it right. Plus it was a terrible call.

Alllllll these excuses for a RB.... a RB job is to break tackles. This was man vs man and cmc turned out to be a boy.... this was sad.... he completely nutted up with game on the line... I guess they dont run the Oklahoma drills anymore.... weak azz cmc on this play pissed me off

I mean we've seen CMC drag 3 people for an extra yard or two. He's strong enough...he did it in this very game. He needed less than a yard.

Just because we have seen it doesn't mean it is an intelligently designed play. Having your best players go 3v1 is a recipe for shortening their careers.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
