Concern that the club didn’t adequately self-scout during the bye week. Same issues re-surfaced although we have improved on penalties, and our return game is better.
But…
Why is Davis continually getting stuffed on 3rd down? Why is Davis still even featured on 3rd and short? He used to occasionally run wide catching defenders (tight in the box) by surprise for big gains. Why was this abandoned?
We’re very susceptible to the run, especially bigger backs (Oliveira, Ouellette, Stanback). Good against smurfs (e.g. Kevin Brown) probably because they go up against Mizzell in practice. We’re quite obviously too light at nose tackle.
We’re also not mounting much of a running attack and a very one-dimensional passing club. Why do we never see Mackie? I would be fine going Mackie/LaFrance and playing the extra import elsewhere. Was scheme not challenged during the bye?
RPO is killing us. Why? The book is that the Leos can defend pretty well deep but give up the underneath passes all night. Someone is always open, like 7/11
