Running backs are less at fault than Peetz, Johnson, and the OL. -PFF stats inside

Per the Atlantic (I think pay site so no link):

quote:

LSU averaged an SEC-worst 0.4 yards before contact per rush Saturday, per Pro Football Focus, it’s the second-worst game average over the last three seasons. The only performance that was worse in that span was the bloodbath loss at Auburn last season (0.2 YBC per rush). LSU runners were hit at or behind the line 15 of 25 rushes Saturday.


I’ve been saying this all week. The RBs weren’t given any opportunity for success. Johnson needs to check out of these runs appropriately, Peetz needs to adjust scheme, and the OL needs to buck up.

It’s going to be a long season.

Apparently we only ran 2 of our running plays all game. How is that possible?

O-line - sometimes we did not know who to block

On D - why was TE so open? yada yada...supposed to drag w/TE but got a "key" confused

Tip your hat to UCLA!

That is coaches (sissy blue ones) beating coaches (P&G ones).

Right...not to mention when you look at other stuff RBs do besides running the ball like picking up the blitz and catching passes...TDP was actually pretty good in those areas.

We didn't run that many unique running plays with Clyde, but his vision and quickness made the ones we did run work.

And some are even questioning if we have anything else in the playbook.

I’m not sure if this was the offense Brady used. I don’t know if he used barely any running plays. But if so, it was definitely something that was implemented for Burrow and Burrow alone. Expecting Max to be able to do the same things as burrow is asinine. And what’s scary is that even if they do try more running plays, do we even have the personnel to accomplish it? I don’t know. I have so many questions.

The run game since 19’ has only been good when Brady basically kicked Cregg to the curb after the 4 or 5th game in 19.

Teaching blocking out of strictly shotgun is not something most OL coaches seem to be up to date with

Williams missed at least 2 blitz pickups that i saw.

He got max blown up.
Tdp is actually really good in pass pro.

I want to see goodwin in the passing game.

I blame peetz and the o line. He needs to adjust the scheme to different running plays. Not the shite they ran under brady.

I don’t blame the running backs or the quarterback much for their performance in that game.

They could’ve performed better but the amount of pressure behind the line of scrimmage immediately on almost every play was ridiculous.

After a short time, the quarterback and running backs have got to be thinking that they better make some kind of move fast before they get crushed.

Once panic mode sets in, everything is screwed.

This won't be a concern. Just look at how he has handled things previously, if he gets out-foxed in one game, he is going to totally change up his playcalls and make up for it the next week.

Yeah. I mean The Running game was dud.

But also TDP was too tentative and didn’t run hard often.

All over a bad day.

QB should always have a few audibles to beat the defense on these all out blitzes: We don’t know if Max missed them or Peetz didn’t install them.

He RARELY even got a chance to put his foot in the ground. That would make Herschel Walker look tentative. He also looked solid blocking and I thought moved well in the few chances he didn’t get hit behind the line.

Of course RBs look good with good blocking and scheme. The issue I see with ours is that, with this OL, they need to be able to make a lot of of whatever opportunities they get, and I haven’t seen that from them.

RB, like the OL, is another position group where O's recruiting has been a miserable failure.

No wonder the team has no running game. He can't recruit talent at any position pertaining to it, can't hire coordinators capable of implementing a scheme to do it, and can't hire position coaches competent in maximizing the best of the players there.

He’s literally back there because he’s 230 LBs.

At some point you need to put your ducking head down and stop tiptoeing around. The blocking was bad but it’s not like he was running hard either.
