Just curious. I have no clue as to what happened on those two plays other than D'Brick turned inside both times and doubled on Faneca's man. It looks like a systemic breakdown but I'll be damned if I can figure out if it was horrible execution or terrible planning.
According to both Rex and Mark, Brick was supposed to block inside and Mark was supposed to hit the hot read. he didn't and paid the price. It sure looked bad on TV, though.
Yea I would say it's the QB there. He either didn't call the right protection or held on to the ball too long.
i blame schotty.empty backfields against one of the premeir rush ends.thats just a recipe for disaster.although brick did a good job on him otherwise.the empty backfield doesn't allow for any miscues.
Does Sanchez call the protection? I thought it was Mangold all this time. If that's the case then he has no one to blame but himself.
Partially on Sanchez for not reading the hot route, partially Schottenheimer for calling an empty backfield against one of the premier pass-rushers of the league where our LT lets him rush free. Even if he does make the hot read, that's still a charging Dwight Freeney coming full speed at him.
It's on Sanchez for not calling a change in protection. Mangold makes the line calls but he can't see the perimeter rushers. One of the reasons that Peyton Manning gets sacked so infrequently is because he rarely snaps the ball before he has a pretty good handle on who's coming from where...if Sanchez can't figure out where everyone's rushing from, he needs to at least mark Freeney. Rookie mistake.
one thing the colts do much better than we do is gettign to the line with at least 15 sceonds, if not 20, to go. Too often we are at the line with less then 10 econds left and there is little chance to read and react to a defense. I'm not sure if its on Mark or Shotty, but we need a better transition from play to play.
So Cutesy calls for Freeney to rush free regardless whether or not Sanchez makes the hot read? So Sanchez is going to get hit by Freeney on the play. That's the idea. Wow, that's fucking retarded way to go Cutesy.
DBrick let him go on purpose but i guess like some guys have been saying its a designed play for a quick drop and hit because Sanchez pumped and pulled down the ball and looked back for the end which meant he knew somebody was coming free
Maybe Greene or whoever the RB or Richardson because its always the RB/FB to pick up on that uncovered man.....as done well by Brown on Jim Leonard
That would be my call also. You never let somebody rush free from the blindside unless you have a play called specifically to exploit that like a pass into that flat or a quick slant. Hot read is what you throw to when somebody unexpectedly comes free, not what you're looking for when a guy who has 15 sacks a year is left unaccounted for.
This is what you do against maybe the quickest DE in the game. Leave him unblocked and hope for an even quicker hot read by the rookie QB. And when you are at it - do it twice! :breakdance: Sure Sanchez might be to blame for not calling for change in protection, but how the hell can Schotty call these plays without being sure that Freeney is going to be blocked? Something is fundamentally wrong here.
That's the same problem that I have with that play. Why would you let an excellent, punishing pass-rusher like Dwight Freeney come through untouched. It seems like he was trying to draw that roughing call at the risk of having his starting QB's shoulder torn.
I was hoping that Schotty got a brain in his stocking but the Freeney episodes confirmed that he didn't.
Fucking retarded is the only way I can describe that non sense. I thought it was a screen play the first time.
