NOT CONVERTING THAT SHORT YARDAGE SITUATION YESTERDAY WASN'T MARONEY'S FAULT. Please let's try to live in, ya know...the WORLD. That was on the OG and Heath Evans. That was an inexcusably TERRIBLE job by the blockers. The ONE guy, literally the ONE, you really need to account for, and you let him slip into the backfield in an instant. Ridiculous.
Blaming LoMar for that is similiarly ridiculous.
You cannot pine for a 'power runner' and use an example of a play call that was designed to go outside the tackle.
It wasnt a 'power run' that was called.
Ultimately, I disagree with the call to begin with against the Colt D, because their objective is penetration. We had to get outisde 4 guys trying to penetrate, and ultimatley what happened was the brought Sanders up and had 3 guys in a space we had 2 blockers. I don't thin Maroney would have been brought down by a diving sanders if he didn't have more congestion in front of him, at the edge to deal with. Run it over the G and we get the first down. (I was really expecting a QB sneak there)
