So I saw this on reddit and have watched it several times. Aside from JC just standing there this just looks like a horribly designed play why it was called IDK.
Can anyone here break it down, who missed their block? What should have happened etc. I think its Julius Thomas who just ignores the guy who comes in free WTF is going on here?

It's called I don't trust the qb not to screw it up.

After that int in the end zone on the fade where he didn't even take a proper bucket step post snap to give him time and space who can blame him.

The entire game is called around limiting the qb exposure
 
that play made no sense. usually theres some kind of misdirection or a fake handoff with the wildcat, that was just a direct snap and run straight up the middle. no deception, no trickery, it was just a waste of a play.
 
Looks like Thomas misses his guy, but damn Cutler out there.... wow dude.

These are the plays we need to be utilizing Gray... A FORMER QB ffs... can break tackles and catch well and block.
 
Play would be more interesting if we had Tannehill playing WR out there, you at least have to give him some respect.

We could have a pretty neat wildcat. Gray takes the direct snap, have Ajayi in the backfield too, and then have Drake come in motion. Tannehill out wide

Scratch Drake out and insert Grant. I like Drake but Grant is on another level of explosion.

I'm curious, did Gase baby Moore this much? I don't feel like he did or at the very least felt Matt was competent enough to do what he was asked to do. Cutler, not so much. I didn't expect him to be this terrible.
 
It was a stupid play, just like the fade pass for the INT to our worst skill player. I am not anti-Gase, but his play calling this season has been dismal. What worries me more, and I'm not sure if anyone else caught this, but after one of our prior games, when asked about why we are running such conservative plays, his reaction was "we tried the thing with Jarvis", and for those who don't remember, it was a handoff to Landry where he was supposed to throw it into the endzone - another stupid, idiotic back-yard play which is essentially conceding that you can't get it done without gimmick/trickery. When people are asking Gase about conservative play calling, what they mean is.. why are you so predictable? Draw plays on 2nd and 10 - repeated bubble screens that never seem to work, and most of all, just the lack of a vertical passing game, or any attempt to establish one. I don't need a freaking flea flicker or statue of liberty play to feel good about our offense. I need to see it move more than 2.2 yards at a time. And don't get me started on the fake punt on 4th and 8 inside our own territory. Come on man.....

It's been limit the qb exposure since tannehill went down
 
Watched it..thanks. With Cutler just standing there ...it was like we were playing one man down. Just a stupid play.
He just stands there the whole time, just does not make any sense.

Well, to be fair, he's not just supposed to stand there. If everyone just stood there when they knew a play wasn't coming their way, a lot of plays would look dumb. Having said that, even if he did move, it was not a good call.
