UPDATED 5/1:: HERE'S WHY OUR DRIVES STALL... (after reviewing alex's starts)

u sure have alot of time on your hands lol

Sounds like you are concluding that poor line play stalled a number of drives and poor timing and connection between A. Smith and his receivers. Improvement on both of these points would help the offense?

Exactly what I been sayin all along. Nice to see it broken down tho.

What really surprised me about that game tho, what that Alex trusted the Line to start off with 3 hard counts. That could have bitten us in the ass had our guys been too tentative or even had they been too wound up. As much as I believe Harris got a bad rap, he probably would have coughed up a penalty or two in that situation.

Good job with the break down.

me no have

gotta credit the detail. nice work

one think that needs to be installed into the offense is having receivers at varying route depths. i noticed quite a few 3rd and longs last year where everyone went deep.

well, remember this is JUST ONE GAME so far, but this one kind of confirmed what most of us thought already. bad OL play, alex not playing the way we want him to which is like a QB who is in complete control out there. Whether or not he can become that guy with more time in the same system... i guess we'll find that out in about 6 mos.

THE ONE THING ABOUT THE HARD COUNTS... is that theoretically that should help the OL. it makes the DL hesitate just that additional split second since they got chewed out for getting 3 penalties on the opening drive. that can get in their head just a tiny bit, and that slight delay, should give the OL an extra little advantage.

i think i know the exact play you're talking about...
usually ran from trips with v.davis standing up just outside the tackle. he runs the seam on a post, outside guy runs a go on an outside release and the middle guy runs a go??? that the one? i was disappointed that as safeties started to recognize that play and jump v.davis toward the end of the year, alex never stared down vernon and took a shot at the outside guy with the one on one coverage (since the satety would be cheating toward the middle to help on v.davis) alex always just threw to vernon... too predictable. when the safety KNOWS who you're going to throw to it doesnt put pressure on him...
