RpMc Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If he runs behind Bradford he doesn't get there in time and can't push the corner around Bradford. RB's picking up blitzes pretty much always cross in front of the QB, not behind. There's no issue with Dalvin's angle. This play is entirely on Remmers getting walked back into the pocket. Cook is 5'10 and Bradford is 6'4... there was no sight issue on the play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looping behind SB would have been better... hopefully DC learns blocking motion angles. jeeezus.... draw a line from Cook's position prior to the snap to BEHIND Bradford and connect the dots. the blitz would have sacked the QB.

A straight line wasn't what I suggested. jeeeeezuuuuus. Learn 3 dimensional geometry; it'll help in the future. Re: line of site mentioned in other replies: height isn't the concern; it's the distraction. The ability to step up in the pocket is pivotal, and is impeded so the DE overpowered the RT.

Purplexing Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 1 hour ago, Klomp said: Exactly Exact problem is the inability to step up in the pocket, allowing a split second for the DE to reach SB. One receiver on a crossing pattern, R to L, was momentarily open but SB had no where to step to throw. So, he held the ball, and was unable to clear himself from the collapsing pocket. Several players didn't do their job, including receivers who were covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Seeing as how Bradford was able to reset his feet after reaching the bottom of his dropback, without being interfered with by Cook, Cook passing in front of Bradford didn't prevent Bradford from stepping up into the pocket. Bradford simply stopped after resetting his, which is a common issue for him, and got run into by his left tackle. Cook played it perfectly.

Kparty15 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I think Dalvin did a great job pass blocking on that play. I was wondering though if Bradford or Easton could've done a better job on this play by recognizing the blitz and changing the protections pre snap? Nick Easton didn't block anyone on that play, but if everyone would've slid to the right a bit more then Remmers would've had the CB and Cook could've blocked any LB that tried to come up the middle. I'm by no means an OL expert, but I think that would've made a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm by no means an OL expert, but I think that would've made a difference. An astute observation. DC might have been re-positioned, pre-snap, to the right, from where the CB might blitz. But how does DC or SB recognize a CB blitz? ... in a pre-season game? If I'm a DC, I don't use one of my CB blitz plays in pre-season,... only 'vanilla' plays. This sack is not the fault of any one individual as some made it out to be in posts that blame SB for not recognizing the pressure and stepping up into the pocket.... or Shanahan calling a bad play... or Easton calling the blocking scheme improperly. As you suggest, there are several breakdowns that could have been avoided. FWIW, only one of four receivers was open, briefly, on a crossing pattern, right to left, but I didn't notice the players number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook waited until the CB got in the backfield, and ran in front of SB, blocking SB from stepping up soon enough to avoid Remmers being pushed back into him. Cook might have missed the CB before the snap, and didn't switch over to that side. The four receivers didn't get open, except for a split second by a receiver running a crossing pattern, right to left. But, you can review the tape and draw your own conclusion.

SteelKing728 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I would say from what I've seen of Cook, that his pass blocking is up and down. He's okay right now and I would bet he'll get better as time goes on. But then Cook might already be better than Peterson at pass blocking. Linebackers and defensive ends were getting past Adrian all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernViking Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hope cook will live up to this hype. I'm definitely drinking the koolaid for him in fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
