Every team does it ... big orchestrated power screen ... undrafted JAG Boston Scott looked like Brian Westbrook running them ... meanwhile Saquon had 1 catch (on the desperation flea flicker flip) ....there’s gotta be a football reason right why we don’t get our blazing fast 230lb star running back a running start ....
It can’t possibly be just stupidity? Can it?
Screens are a staple of every good offense ... the Saints, Chiefs, the Pats with James White ... I’m just at a loss. I want to say Shurmur and Shula are dumb blah blah ... but it’s almost too simplistic to conceive ... they’ve had a relatively healthy OL too and in week 14 they can’t get even attempt one screen?
It can’t just be that the coaching is inept right? Can it? Maybe it is. Depressing.
And it doesn't have to be Barkley. They couldn't stop it if Gettleman was the receiver.
Oyy. Every good team has a little pass catching scatback who comes in for a few plays, and is an easy outlet for the QB .. it’s 2019 and our RBs had 1 total catch!!
They ran one to him on the second play of the game. NOT A SINGLE FUCKING LINEMAN GOT AHEAD OF HIM. He literally faced THREE defenders with NO ONE TO BLOCK.
THAT'S why.
This was against an Eagles defense that in the first half was ready to quit.

we suck at screens and with our Oline they can get there with 4 guys and thus a free guy to automatically go to wherever SB is...

It’s just shocking. It’s a largely healthy OL too ... it’s disorienting how inept they are.
that is seldom the case for teams playing the G's

This is the main problem.

That’s a good answer, thx.
