Our 3 man rush does not work.
What I have observed as an obsessive fan who watches games and then comes home after being there and watches them again with my pause and slow motion button is that our blitzing of LBS does not work either. If that sounds terrible to you, I agree! We have had our greatest blitzing success not with our MLB, or our SLB but actually when we have sent in our corner or safety.
Watch the Florida game again. We had 4 blitzes on 3rd and long and we did not get to the QB on any of them.
We do not have a single guy who is the equivalent of a Leonard Little or a Sean Ellis.
By his junior year I think J Smith will be an absolute force. Malik Jackson has shown some nice flashes. As of this year, we can only guess how nicely the platoon would have worked with our torn achilles guys in place.
I am disgusted and my heart is torn out when we give up a first down on 3rd and long. I hated it with a passion about Chavis and I hate it with a passion about Wilcox...
Overall P Waggner whiffed at the start of the game (on a play I actually believe D Myles Jr makes) and we lost. I just think with this roster you can see that Wilcox is completely hamstrung.
To whoever asked about the PI, Teague did not turn his head until late after he rode the hip of the WR with his left hand. It was an iffy call but it would only be outrageous if the ball had literally been two feet higher. I thought it was easily PI on slow motion (from a guy who is still trying to learn his position and will be a VERY good one IMO) but should not have been thrown because it was uncatchable. Could Justin Hunter have timed a jump to get that ball? I think it is possible. Could that WR whose hip Teague was shoving? No freaking way. He had no way to know that however, he just knew that he was beaten in the end zone and the WR was looking for the ball when he shoved him.
