Another solid day in pass protection. He did OK run blocking but did get beat a couple of times. The only times (2) he got beat in pass protection was when he was already engaged in a block and a delayed stunt or blitz by another defender got by him. I can't really fault him too much for those but with better awareness and experience he should be able to pick those up.

In terms of pass protection I thought he did very well. Like I said, the plays where he was beat in pass protection were a delayed blitz and a delayed stunt where he was already engaged in another block.

As far as run blocking - meh. He didn't have a great game in that category.

 

These are good points. Unfortunately I don't know if there is a way for me to know if there was a mental mistake in that situation or not though. On the play you pointed out you can see him pointing at the outside guy making some kind of call and then he went inside like you said. I don't know why he chose the inside guy, but what you say makes sense - why wouldn't he help the TE on the outside instead of the G on the inside?

Should I assume that it's always the right decision to help the TE in that situation? I don't know. Without knowing for sure who he is supposed to block, all I can do is comment on who he did block. Any input is appreciated.

As for the run plays the other way, I only discount the block if his guy has no impact on the play. If the run were the other way and his guy made the play I would note that. Most of the time when I write what happens is he engages, the run goes the other way and his guy slows down and just trails the play with no impact. Sometimes all an o-lineman has to do is slow his man down to get his job done if the play is going the opposite way. I'll try and be more detailed in these situations going forward.

 

cut block, chop block - I always used the term interchangeably. Am I incorrect?

He dove at the guys ankles off the snap and missed.

 

The data in that article is focused only on runs to his position if I read it correctly. I actually felt like this was one of his worst performances of the season in terms of his run blocking efforts. In prior games there were a number of instances where he drove his guy back a number of yards on run plays. He did that a couple of times Sunday, but almost seemed uninterested in run blocking a lot of the time.

When I think back, I don't remember them running off tackle or between him and Faneca much at all.

GJF - Thanks for the info.

 

It was actually a choice between double teaming with Faneca or Baker. I don't know if they were expecting another blitzer to come inside or something and that's why he chose to go inside. There are too many question marks from an outsider point of view to determine why he made the decision he did and if it was correct.
