Is it verboten to point out that Whit Weeks was responsible for the 2 long TD runs?

As great as he has been in spots, he bit inside on both plays and didn’t seal the edge.
It could be coaching. It could also be that he didn’t understand the run fits.
We just don’t have gap understanding and/or discipline.

The safeties actions were more egregious on both td runs.

They were bad too, but I saw Whit move to the inside when there was no other defender in front of him to seal the outside edge.
He’s got to be able to see that and adjust.

He was responsible for sage Ryan totally whiffing on the tackle?

Gabriel Reliford was responsible for the Rocket Sanders long run. He lost contain on the edge. After that he never played again.

On the Sellers TD run and the Sanders TD Run, Sage wasn’t even near the play. You’re thinking of another play.

True, but Reliford was in front of Weeks. When Weeks saw Reliford go inside, he’s got to know that he has to redirect to the outside.
If Weeks understood what he was seeing in front of him, he had time to adjust.

It’s the DE’s responsibility to force the runner inside. Reliford does that and Rocket gets tackled. He needs to wait until the runner commits to the inside then crash. If the DE crashes to early almost every RB in football is capable of running around the DE and turning it up. Reliford made a mistake.

Thanks for that. I agree. It’s just too bad Weeks wasn’t experienced enough to see what Reliford was doing and adjust because he could’ve still made up for it and still made the play.

The big point is that on those two plays, the issues are fixable. Everybody bit on the movement, that's probably why the safety was out of the play as well. It's not a talent issue, it's not guys that just don't get it. It was a set of mistakes, large mistakes, and we haven't had quite as many as we did last year.

Nope. Maybe on the first one. The second one was due to an egregious mistake by Weeks.

I mean Sellers ran by Penn. Looks like our whole defense shifted with the motion and the RB movements on the option. Whit
I dont know their assignments.
but if Whit fricked up, the. so did penn because he also
moved. he then didn’t make any kind of play and got swallowed up by the guard.

You don’t know that. They make defensive calls and reads that determine who is responsible. This isn’t Pop Warner in which everyone has the exact same responsibility on every play.

Young players sometimes make agressive mistakes. Coaching and experience are the best teachers.

Someone failed to set the edge. Herbstreit even called it out during the game.

This is what I’m pointing out. Baker is great but the production from his defense that he can get out of them this year is going to be limited. It sucks, but it is what it is.

I'm not sure prime Ray Lewis could leave his gap responsibility to make that tackle - the busted Reliford contain TD.

Weeks saw Reliford in front of him working to the inside. He should’ve known that he had to protect the outside. He didnt have to keep working to the inside once he saw that, but he did. At that point it was too late.

I see what you’re saying. After looking at the play again Reliford gets washed inside so early and so quickly the left tackle ignored him and blocked Weeks. As fans we will never know who really missed their responsibility but one thing is certain the edge was not set. Also given the fact that Reliford did not play the rest of the game increases the possibility that maybe Reliford was the one that lost gap discipline on that play.
