Offense:
obviously starting with the Offensive Line here.... Disgusting.
Besides Pouncey and James, who both played very well from what I saw, Thomas was just simply horrid in pass blocking and getting popped at the line backwards run blocking. He couldnt do anything as the DL easily flowed and filled to stuff our running game consistently.
Fox was atrocious. His back steps are more like hop steps or skip steps in the passing game, he has no lateral movement or base... he got consistently destroyed.. .therefore, Tannehill does as well. Fox was a complete disaster all game.
Thomas gets a bye!!!
with our offensive line playing like this we only ran the ball 7 times with Miller, Tanny was sacked twice, with 8 QB hits, and a fumble.
now for the running game we started to mix it up a bit once again... lining up under the center.. getting our OLine moving forward and down with more head to head blocking, being the aggressor, and look at our running game compared to in the shotgun with the read option style running game. (those of you that work with the gifs, videos, numbers if you could figure out the differences would be awesome). But, out of the shotgun we are once again seeing our OLine blocking more finesse, on their heals getting pushed back and all over.... no room still, no lanes or area for Miller. Its extremely frustrating!!!
To continue with the offense, is more on the play calling now. there is nothing creative no more. We dont play-action when we should, we dont move Tanny around in the pocket, or move him from blitzes, we dont have crative route running it seems... pick plays? motions to create match-ups.... it all just seems absent from last year.
look how Buffalo came out on the first drive, play action roll-outs, beautiful set up to a guy crossing under the line to the right, working Clay all over as we used too, etc... all passing, all moving Taylor around (yes we didnt pressure well at all)... but that was a great drive with creative set-ups and vision to accomplish!!!
we pitch it to Landry on third and short after he is tired from working his ass off and getting drilled after many targets and catches? late in the game and in the red zone we pound it out from under center, running the ball for a great first down. but then go back to the shotgun and pass 4 times with no play-action, and no real great play set-ups... just trying simple routes and throwing the ball up, as Tanny is under complete pressure as always killing the timing... and not even running once??? its FRUSTRATING!!!
Tanny didnt have a great game obviously, didnt have a horrid game either though. with once again NO OLine, NO running game, under pressure in his pocket constantly... he delivered many good reads and throws. First INT was Landry's fault sadly... easily seen by watching his eyes completely turn upfield before he watched it in his hands and secured it. The screen play INT Tanny should of eaten the sack basically... the play was BLOWN up completely with so much pressure up the middle, and great read by the Brown to jump in front for the pick, Tanny prob didnt see him trying to release that quick as he died. The pick by Darby, was a GREAT defensive set-up against our offense there ,with an overloaded blitz from the left (where they were destroying Fox and Thomas all game anyways, shifting Buffalos safety and Darby after snap into a two deep zone, as the CB went into the flat... Tanny chucked it up to what he though was an open WR, but right into Darby's hands as he rotated into his area right to the ball. Lots of pressure, poor read and decision by Tanny!!!
any Thoughts? any comments or discussions?
