That play was blown no matter what D-Will did in my opinion.

I do however agree that Cam needs to be involved in crucial short yardage situations.

2nd an 2 do what you want. On third down though we need more read option or QB designed runs.

This goes back to those people who always say "Cam padded his TD stats by not giving to ball to RBs"

No Cam had a lot of TDs because he is one of the best short yardage backs in football.

I'm pretty sure I remember this exact play. If DWill bounces outside he has a 1st down easily but instead cut inside right into a huge crowd and we ended up punting.

Isn't that exactly what happened in the preseason game on the today dissected. He flopped into a pile with the outside open

Around the time Pro-Football-Reference added the Game Play Finder in 2012, I used it to look up Tom Brady's rushing success in short-yardage situations (third or fourth down, 1-2 yards to go). The results were staggering. Including last season, in his regular-season career Brady is 88 out of 91 (96.7 percent) on these runs, including 56 straight conversions. That's almost as efficient as the extra point. After researching some other quarterbacks, I found that most of them had great conversion rates. This is largely due to the quarterback sneak, which has worked 85.9 percent of the time since 2009. While Brady is the master of the quarterback sneak, the research shows quarterbacks in general, regardless of passing proficiency, size and caliber of their offensive line, are the best options to convert a short-yardage run. Physics and geometry would agree.

Very disappointed in you Zod.  This is like one of those political smear campaigns.  Or like a voice recording where you do editing to make a person sound guilty.

 

 

1. Olsen being in front of two people is not the same as blocking.  The one guy is just looking to shed Olsen depending on where Dwill goes.  

2. Olsen is horrible at blocking. 

3. Freeze frames don't actually depict the actual speed in which the play is occurring.

 

It's like Peter King and Charlie Casserly are running the show around here.

 

I agree.  Zod keeps making threads that sound somewhat plausible but are actually absurd ideas.  Here, I can be a subtle troll too.

 

Why don't we just get Clausen back to replace Cam because Cam throws the ball to hard and Jimmy is more effective on check downs. 

 

Discuss.

Good to know that those two defenders Olsen was blocking were planning on just standing still and letting D-will run outside.

But where is Olsen's leverage on his block? Looks like the main guy is outside of Olsen to me.

I don't see this on D-Will as much as it looks like someone missed a guy since Olsen is having to block two guys.

This.....
