I have no issues with how Carr has sued and more with getting conservative toward end of games or with leads. The defense has been the issue this year though even with RZ conversions. My biggest issue on offense this year has been the run blocking, followed by gruden in the RZ. The young WRs will only get better. The offense overall is definitely trending up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offensive line needs some help though which sucks because we didn't capitalize on the dominant last few years. Now looking like it needs some rebuilding. Carr needs an elite o line to play well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't call our OL elite when they can't run block to save their lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say also that Jacobs may not be 100% or is just not attacking holes like he has. Booker looks more explosive when he comes in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL is mainly fine. It may just be scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed a lot better last year when the pieces were healthy. This year injuries and run blocking regression. Last year the run blocking seemed fine.

oakdb36 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Jacobs was banged up most of the season. His first appearance on the injury report happened on week 2. He got healthier around mid season then suffered a more severe injury at Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no continuity they were rotating players in and out all year. That's a huge handicap for the O-line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurley is the lowest at 3.5 Y/C but is ranked 23rd in total yards and Jacobs is 7th. There are only 2 other RBs with under 4 Y/C Elliot and Gurley. Jacobs is 3rd in carries so it shows we are not producing but not adapting either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a RB that struggles to break long runs. He has 250 carries. His long of 24 yards ranks 83rd on the year and he is the only player with over 100 carries ranked that low. The offense overall is doing good but with a RB that is suppose to be one of the best young backs combined with all the money spent on the o line something is not right. I understand the injuries but we need to spread out the money more. With what we have invested in the offense I would say it is playing below expectations. It could be Gruden, Cable, Mayock, O-line, Carr, Jacobs, etc.... I do not know but we need to cut some dead weight and invest in the defense. Watch Jacobs break one for 50+ tonight to make me look stupid. Edited December 26, 2020 by drfrey13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my biggest criticism of him lack of top end speed. I compare josh to Montgomery from chi. Similar players but extremely different draft value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdb36 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 That's a problem for this season but like i said Jacobs was listed with ankle, knee and hip injuries at various points and starting week 2. They weren't going to take away his carries because he wasn't able to hit a long run since he was still able to move the chains, score TDs and keep the offense on schedule. And i don't think the offense is playing below expectations at all. It's an offense without an elite QB and with an average WR group. It's limited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
