feeshta Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Here are a few screen captures form highlight video of the game that show some interesting things. Sorry about the image quality. This is an image of Tatum Bell stepping out of bounds on his first TD run after Taylor clips his feet. On this run Warrick Holdman blew his assignment and missed that tackle after getting blocked by a TE in space. Daniels though he had help to the inside and played based on that. Taylor also was out of position it seemed, and Rogers got blocked. This is an image of the blocked kick. Look how many guys are fully extended with both hands in the air for Denver. This is unacceptable on the line's part because it is their responsibility to get a push on those guys so they can't do this. This is an image that shows several things on the second Tatum Bell TD run. First off Marcus Washington is obviously being blocked in the back, which sprung Bell from having to slow down and cut. Second, Ade Jimoh is being held, although that is difficult to to see with this image quality, third Matt Bowen has position to make the takle but as you will see in the next few images he blows it. Here you can see Bowen gets great position to make a tackle. Then for some inexplicable reason he goes for the upper body rather than the legs and waist which he has easy access to. So he ends up whiffing completely, and taking out any chance Clark had in the process. To his credit Bell did run very hard and is a very fast guy no doubt, but he had help on both plays from the refs. First one should have been down at the three yard line, Denver probably still scores, but you have to get it right. Second one should have been clipping on the offense or Holding on the offense, take your pick which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chants Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 As for the first image, I do not feel too bad about the Refs missing it. As for the block in the back to Washington, that was pretty blatent. I do have a problem with the refs missing it. What those two photos tell me is that we need a better understanding of both how and when to challenge plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tatum Bell was out of bounds on a touchdown run, then Gibbs needs to throw the flag. They got a crucial play overturned, and if the Skins should have gotten one themselves, they have noone to blame but themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolskin Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Bowen never should have been there. He lined up for a blitz at the top of the screen, probably the farthest defender from the play. It was a desperation run from one side of the field to the other. He should have given up on it and let the guys on the other side do something.
