Went back and watched their past three games to get a better idea of why they are the way they are. Yikes:
- They are THE WORST team against the play-action, their LB's step up immediately and don't adjust once they see it.
- Alex Barron might be the worst RT I've ever seen play football. The Seahawks started running stunts with their DT and DE and Barron would turn his shoulders inside. Turning your shoulders is the biggest cardinal sin possible for an OL, they should always be square to the line of scrimmage. He also chases the DL once he gets beat, this is horrible, horrible technique.
- There is no DL on that team that require a double team. Carriker is literally being blocked by an RB on some plays.
- They DO NOT wrap up the ball carrier. I can't begin to tell you how bad they are at tackling.
- Keep an eye on #70 (Alex Barron); I counted eight times where he got out of his stance .3 or more seconds after everyone else.
- Their DB's try to play bump coverage but end up bumping themselves out of the play by being too aggressive, this is beautiful if you're Lee Evans.
- The DO NOT blitz, and when they do (maybe 5% of the time) they hardly get any pressure.
- Jackson has no cut back lanes.
- Their OL does not get to the second level at all, they look uninterested in it.
- It got so bad vs. the Seahawks that the Hawks were rushing three and still getting some pressure.
- It's hilarious, they attempt the screen, Jackson catches the ball but has no where to go because the OL just quits blocking their man two seconds after the ball is caught.
- The few times Jackson did get out into the open field he looked so slow.
None of this is anything groundbreaking, I know, but I thought I'd give you a handful of things to keep an eye on. I expect Kelsay and Lynch to both have big games this week after re-watching the film.
