3rd And 2

[NJCardFan]

Crucial time in the game. You're driving to get into FG range with your rookie QB taking his first snaps. He's moving the ball and you get to a crucial 3rd and 2. Why isn't your #1 back on the field? This is next level stupid unless there was a reason. Was DJ hurt in some way? Because there is no way he should have been on the bench and there is no way you give the ball to an undersized running back in that situation either. Has Wilkes explained this stupidity?

"We have a lot of confidence in Chase. It's all the Olines fault."

That's basically the full extent of what he's said about it, whilst being super defensive.

Then Wilkes needs to be fired. There's no reason to be this mind numbingly stupid.

It was dumb indeed but DJ most likely woulda been stuffed too, terrible execution by the line. Terrible.

Play call was absurd. Just give it to DJ straight up the gut and let him plow ahead for the 2 yards. Could have sworn I saw that play every series he was in. And for him to not be in every series is a travesty in of itself.

Exactly correct. You either spread them out or you do a dive. To do a read option sort of run there was dumb

Why run a sideways play that takes so long to develop?

DJ should have been in there for sure

 

[Jetstream Green]

I saw it as this... you have Rosen in who has some mobility compared to Bradford and McCoy has proven he is good to go on a dink and dunk three yard pick up, which means we should have ran some roll out

Seals-Jones was also the blocking TE on that play lol.

D.J. was on the sideline being chastised for a missed assignment. Great time to tutor him on that. :-/

Here is why you want David Johnson on the field:



David Johnson catches the ball in the flat 5 yard behind the line of scrimage

Three unblocked defenders converge on DJ and DJ gives them a quick stutter step to the outside

Johnson's stutter step and quickness allows him to somehow get back inside on all three defenders!

What should have been a yard or two gain was turned into an 11 yard run for a first down.

That is why you want DJ on the field in critical situations!

NO! You want the RB Coach to ream him for missing that block on the previous down dammit!
