    Blue and Gold

    Rookie error or just bad protection? Saffold clearly is looking to see if someone dogs from middle but then gets the #1 DL to the right, But Halv also gets the #1 DL to the right and leaves the the #2 guy alone. It’s play action and Gurley goes up middle, so not sure if he can be to blame. The center turns to get the #1 to the left and the guard and G-Rob has the #2 to the left they double him. . . but it’s 5 on 4, and we have a guy unblocked. So, don’t know if Barnes made right call or if Hav blew it.

    this team CAN stop the run. Here, against I guess what you’d call a big nickle with Barron as Lber, it’s really a base defense with a safety playing LBer. Anyone versus 2 TEs on the line, it’s a 7-man box, Steelers run into the overshift, ALL FOUR Rams Dlinemn get penetration, yes, Quinn was left alone by the LT, but Brockers lifts his guy back, Donald goes backdoor, Long plays the double-team of the RT and TE and sets the edge, Bell, with nowhere to go loses yardage.

    So, I’m getting a few senses about the team that make these past few weeks make a tiny bit of sense … but that’s it. Someone mentioned that we’re a run-first team that can’t run. If I was to point to any one liner to encapsulate the issues, that would be it.

    We had this game, they even lost their QB. Our defense put on a true show against a powerhouse football team. I couldn’t be prouder of them.

    The Good

    1) Leveon Bell scored less than 23 fantasy points for me. I can usually count on him for 30-40. Seems crazy, but he’s probably the best all purpose back I’ve ever seen. So keeping him, with fresh legs to boot, under that is a big deal.

    2) Donald and Quinn and Tree +1s on the sack category. And ALL THREE were on Ben before the end of his drop. Those weren’t hustle sacks.

    3) Joyner was really moving fast. It is an underrated thing, closing speed. He’s going to stop a lot of first downs like that and get some PBUs.

    4) Britt with 100 yards (he can;t drop that ball at the end, ugh)

    5) Nick Foles threw more accurately, about in between the two previous weeks, so probably representative of his ability.

    6) Gurley sighting!!!!

    7) Benny still running hard.

    8) O line pass pro was pretty solid.

    9) GZ steady.

    10 TJ with some really powerful hits, lord.

    The Bad

    11) Cook, Kendricks … seriously. Those were points. I’ll be highlighting TEs every week now, because there are some real quality players in the NCAA.

    12) No Quick. Gonna be tracking WRs too … and there are MANY.

    13) Why are we not using Benny every down?

    14) NO RUN BLOCKING. How does Boudreau have any voice left?

    15) JJ collapsing on that 3rd and 13 by Brown and losing contain. No excuses dude. You can’t do that.

    16) JL beat the block on the TD at the goalline, but took FOREVER to fill … and we know it was an inch.

    17) Where’s Stedman?

    The Ugly.

    18) WHY ARE WE RUNNING AGAINST A TEAM THAT HAS NO TALENTED BACK END DEFENDERS?

    This was winnable, I’ll leave it at that.
