Buc Ball Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 4 minutes ago, bucsfan333 said: Yeah. If we wanna get him involved early (which definitely seems to be the case), we could work him into the rotation more to run and be a playaction guy while he works on pass blocking and catching the ball. No need to just leave him inactive every week. He's not gonna pull guys tugging on his jersey like Barber does. And he's not gonna lower his shoulder and consistently pick up yards up the middle. But we could give him power runs to the outside or counter plays to try to get him either the edge or a cutback lane while he works on all the other stuff. There are ways to get him on the field and design plays to his strengths while he practices. And as he comes along in those other things, we can start utilizing him in other ways. It also sets up defenses that try to key on personnel. Heās a different type of back than Barber, definitely. Thereās no reason we couldnāt run outside zone to take advantage of his speed, let him settle in and let him build confidence looking for the rollbacks. ThereāsĀ so much we could have doneĀ to help him. Instead,Ā we constantly told him he needed to get better, asked him to do those thingsĀ during games and then sat him down the second he did something bad.

Especially when we're starting guys like Benenoch. š Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points and if we can agree the oline needs 2 or 3 new starters because of their performance, how good can a RB perform. Ā @bucsfan333Ā mentioned watching tape of Jones at USC, how much of their running was stretch outside. Ā This oline cannot run block very well outside at all throughout the entire season.

The culture installed by Koetter and his staff doesnāt appear to be a good one to be honest. It seems to focus on negative messaging and putting guys under pressure immediately. Its the very antithesis of Bellichick, who literally brings players in, identified their strengths and plugs them into a very specific role which maximises thoseĀ strengths.Ā The sad thing is, thatās basic common sense.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donovan Smith is good in pass pro when he wants to be, but he looks lazy on film and heās just bad at getting out to the second level. Imagine watching him run the track on stretch left? Heās not getting the LB. Marpet should be the only survivor tbh. Iād expect 4 new starters and Iād shift Marpet back to RG, where he was actually playing well before we started messing about with it for no reason. Weāve needed a draft focused on the oline for a long time, which 2015 aside, hasnāt happened since 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
