Couple of observations about the offense....

Sep 25, 2017, 9:32 AM

-KB seems confused by zone coverage, holds the ball too long. He's not setting his feet and balls seem to float, even on screens. Streeter is working with him on this, so I'm not too concerned at this point. Yet.
-Perimeter blocking by WR's is not good this year. Our screen plays are getting blown up.
-Pass protect: we have issues at RT and TE. 'Nuff said.
-Playcalling is a little conservative. Not sure if this is by design or not. I'm thinking WR's aren't getting enough separation...our youth is showing.
-Screens: We need to get Rodgers and Powell going. I love McCloud, but I think we need someone with more lower body strength on these types of plays.
-Still confused why we can't get Etienne more touches. Philosphy seems to be put him in in the 4th quarter when defenses are tired. We need him in the game to keep linebackers frozen.
-Overton: get him the #### ball.
-Higgins: he's still not using his body to box out defenders on right shoulder fades. That will come, the talent is there. But he needs work.

We are young at the skill positions and it shows. The good news is, I would hope most of these issues will be resolved by November, when it counts.

There's a lot of good. Too much to list. But if we can get these items fixed, we can be scary good.

Screw Calford.

The narrative is that philosophy you mentioned that we're putting him in in the 4th qtr intentionally when defenses are tired. The reality is that ETN only got that game breaking TD carry because Fuller was in the doghouse for fumbling and Feaster and Choice had just come off the field a play or two before with injuries. It was total happenstance that Travis was in the game at that point in time in the first place. Basically the coaches got lucky.

We have championship pedigree coaches so I don't think going forward that they will continue to turn a blind eye to Travis' obvious talent despite him needing improvement on other aspects of his game, but it is a mystery as to why it is taking this long. Maybe they've just dropped the ball in the area. Elliot has pretty much admitted as much himself.

Narrative doesn't match reality with ETN

Overton is key, someone who can catch like Mike Williams!
