Got this one wrong. One new thing about Alex this year is he has gotten much better at looking in one direction if for no other reason than to throw it to another. It's not every time, but show me a QB that does do it every time.

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?

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.
middle screens to hunter work so well behind our big ass oline, we ran it last year and got at least a first down out of it every time.
i just don't understand roman sometimes
i hate all the running plays he calls when we get in the red zone.
Wait we do but he only gets 10 snaps and there either running plays or ones outside the 20 got to keep him fresh!

that was last years excuse
Yep that's the standard preseason excuse that seems to be mistakingly used during regular season as well. The coaches should be using every play at their disposal that would give us the best chance to win on that day. There's only 16 regular season games, so they don't have time to hide plays.

I've been asking the same thing; also, I was screaming for a bubble screen to a WR for most of last Sunday, as well!

Crabtree wouldn't be good at that!

With the right entourage, even you or I could be good at that.

alex has always done a good job of looking off the safety, he constantly does that on those great vernon wheel routes

Crabtree dances too much on those, you know who's awesome at those? Manningham, he does one cut and goes

Crabtree's entire college career was built on the bubble screen. We just throw those less than we do halfback screens.

KW's TD catch two games ago is enough evidence to me that we should in fact run screens for him. He took like 4 steps in 2 feet to turn around and leave the defender in his dust, his screens (and maybe some with Hunter) will more often than not result in some positive gains just b/c of their speed, and with our designed blocking, should be effective, BUT, the main thing here is the timing of when we should or should not call them. Teams seemingly can (or at least I can) predict some of the screen passes we've had in the past just b/c of the 3rd and long situation or whatever and so the point here is to mix it up.
And our screens need people with speed, Crabtree does have some nifty ability at times but he's been very effective in his routes lately so let him do that, we just have to take advantage of KW, Hunter, Moss? Manningham, and maybe Ginn (I'm not sure about his injuries and if they have something to do with why he's not in the slot every now and then).
