The 10 RBs with more than 35% of their team's targets + rush attempts: Le'Veon Bell (50%) Dalvin Cook (47%) Leonard Fournette (42%) Christian McCaffrey (41%) Marlon Mack (40%) Nick Chubb (40%) Aaron Jones (39%) Austin Ekeler (38%) Chris Carson (36%) Derrick Henry (35%) |
I was begging for angle routes all year last year, and it seemed like Shurmur finally started to incorporate a little creativity like that during the winning streak, but so far nothing. A huge knock on the Head Coach. Especially given the WR injuries...
It’s a crime that he’s not being moved around like McCaffery and Kamara.
He's played 84% of the snaps (all but 22) and some of those missed snaps were at the end of the Dallas game when things were out of reach.
You also can't run the ball down 2+ scores in the 2nd half.
Until a QB proves they can beat a defense they will keep loading the box and take him away.
Hopefully it starts this week.

There's no gameplan to gameplan around SB, like isolating him against a MLB from the slot like BB does with Edelman. Friggin Shermur system weenie wco BS dragon spacing routes sending SB to the flats like he's Tom Rathman.
That stat is a damning indictment of Shurmer's incompetence.
But the defense!

Yes-- you can. You can run draws. Draws with Barkley can you get 5-15 yards.

is that they need to get him the ball in space in the passing game. Angle routes, wheel routes, split him wide, I don't care how but it is holding us back immensely to use him for dumpoffs only in the passing game.

Not sure which worse. This or taking him out early this year for Wayne Gallman. Shurmur needs to go along w Betcher who may be
Even worse

Says who? We know what Barkley is capable of, right? Why do people keep repeating this as if it fits the player?
This isn't Tyrone Wheatley getting the ball down 2 scores. It's a home run hitter that can go 60 yards on one play.
Maybe when Tate and Shepard are both on the field defenses will have to be remotely respectful of the Giants downfield.
This is what happens when Cody Latimer and Benny Fowler are your primary WRs.
whats weird is in both games consecutive handoffs to Barkley
resulted in quick TDs on opening drives
Odd
Then the parade of failed 3rd down attempts began (in my mind this is what got Eli demoted, not so much the losing)
I see the Jones era as a brand new start to the season
also the matchup is with another team that has struggled the last few years
Dallas and Buffalo are likely going to the playoffs
If we dont win this game or at least be competitive, it will be a rocky
season for sure
we have been playing from behind 90% of these 2 games
I dont blame Shurmur as much as Bettcher who seems lost protecting against good QBs
D Jones has that ability and i think we’ll see more successful screens etc over the coming weeks. How many downfield targets and how often SB gets “flanked” put etc I don’t know if that’s coaching, game planning, or on Eli’s perceived ineptitude.However we will soon find out.
