Why doesn't Roman EVER call screens?

GoldandGarnet · 2012-10-16T16:39:14-07:00

I think I have seen two screens called in two years. It is a pretty standard play, used to mitigate pressure and blitzes. Teams that are good at screens are difficult to defend cuz if you blitz them and get caught with a screen, it's usually a big gain. Standard stuff here folks. Just another tool in the tool box. Why is it Roman is allergic to them?

Agree.....esp. considering the athleticism of our line.

I don't think we've ran 10 screens in the last 7-8 years.

Don't get it. It's not like we don't have the personell.

A screen would be nice once or twice a half. You know what else would be nice? If Frank f**king Gore carried the ball once in the 2nd half.

Seen a few to hunter this season, just not good at it. Would be nice to see them have success with the play. It be nice to see any type of successful screen to any skill pos.
