jrockster21 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hmmm...these stats seem to imply that the "Left Side Experiment" is not over. Both Heyer and Wade did well in run blocking. Heyer missed on a couple blitzes, but other than that, did fairly well at pass-blocking. He picks up that blitz, and we're all applauding our diamond in the rough instead of calling for his head. EDIT: Not to mention, the SS blitz is hard for anyone to pick up. Dallas has been killing us with it for years (Roy Boy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ax Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I think the mistake on the first blitz was Jason's, for not checking his backside before the play. He should have seen the uncovered player about to blitz him. He'll learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudMouth12thMan Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Whoever did this is a chump. "Cooley kinda' sucks at blocking..."????? Chump, and he got a handful of things right and that's it. I sat and watched all of our 6 drives in the first half in HD slow mo and what I gathered (and all anyone needs to know) was that Wade is not the answer (right now at least) at LG and Jansen looks like **** and shouldn't as an experienced Vet (hopefully just a bad night). Anything other than that was not enough of a sore spot to mention. Whoever did this analysis is a chump if only b/c he said something stupid about Cooley :2cents: HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishisthegreatstuff Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 very nice. I agree with what that said bascially.... Jansen looked pathetic, but I don't think wade, thomas, or rabach looked to good either. We need Chris Samuels back. Hopefully the line will play better. In next years draft we better not draft anyone that doesn't play oline or dline!!! That goes for FA's also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Shot Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I hope the coaches let Jansen have it after film, from all I've been hearing, Jansen really ****ed up Saturday night. This offense better not stall because he can't get it together......we know he can pummel guys, I don't think he's overrated, he just needs to step up.

MEANDWARF Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I didn't want to say anything considering he is one of my favorite players we have right now, but I did notice Sellers running by one of the Titans blitzers (believe it was JC 2nd fumble play). Then again this issue can be deleted during preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portis4Lfe Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 in the words of keanu reeves "WOAH"..what a great analysis but from just watching the game in regular-mo u could tell Heyer and Wade were doing a okay job but Jansen was having a awful night so OKAY+AWFUL=BELOW AVERAGE O-LINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Deadman Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Great coverage...I hope they do this every game. Jansen sucked, Heyer was ok everybody else was so-so. Cooley is more of a pass catching TE. We should save some more crucial blocks to Sellers and Yoder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita35 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 That's a good point as well - he needs to recognize the blitz. I think JC acknowledged that was his mistake at the press conference after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhay Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Does anyone think Jansen's trying to gain his weight back now? I wasn't really paying attention to him during the game as I was looking at the opposite side of the line. Is he just getting out muscled? And I disagree with the person saying Wade isn't ready yet. If you mean he shouldn't be the starter during the regular season. I think he did look a little awkward at times, which might have had something to do with his height and just getting adjusted to the game. He did manhandle the defender at times though, and I think the more he plays in the preseason the better off we'll be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I think the mistake on the first blitz was Jason's, for not checking his backside before the play. He should have seen the uncovered player about to blitz him.He'll learn. Jason admitted to it so yeah. And Stephon Heyer looked really good in that Titans game. I watched him on every offensive play. More times than not, he's still at the line of scrimmage blocking while everyone else was pushed back a yard or more, still trying to protect Campbell.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 EDIT: Not to mention, the SS blitz is hard for anyone to pick up. Dallas has been killing us with it for years (Roy Boy). True, Dallas has even killed us with it when it's coming from the left side and Brunell is in the lineup. In the first Cowboys game in 2005, right before Brunell ran for 25 yards on 3rd and 27, RW blitzed from the left side and Brunell didn't see it and got sacked. Interestingly enough, though, Thrash was supposed to be on the left side of the line at the time of the snap, but he was right between Thomas and Jansen when the ball was snapped...you could see that it caught him off guard and he just started blocking "whoever" while trying not to get crushed...and RW just came through untouched and sacked Brunell for like a 15 yard loss. Two plays later on 4th down, RW blitzed from the exact same area, but this time Thrash made it over to the lefthand side...and Brunell lobbed one over RW's head and connected with a wide open Thrash for 20 yards. I think that was how the earlier play was supposed to be executed, if Thrash had made it to the other side of the line in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tastes Like Chicken Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 This is part of why we need CP back there- he is one of the best RB's blocking against the pass rush. I also feel that Jansen should be demoted just to let him know that being a starter isn't automatic. He looks like a shell of the 2005 Jansen. I believe that it's bad karma from snubbing my autograph request last year in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fansince62 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I like Cooley too, but Cooley got owned out there whenever he was trying to block. is that because he is a *ussy when it comes to the tiugh stuff or cuz he had a bad night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 is that because he is a *ussy when it comes to the tiugh stuff or cuz he had a bad night? Where do you get that he's a ***** for the tough stuff? He was voted hardest hitter by his teammates two years straight at Utah State. It routinely takes 2 or 3 guys to bring him down, sometimes even more. Some of you guys are unreal with your pessimism. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 What we should do is give up on the Wade at LG experiment and move him back to RT, where he played his best football for us last year. I hate to say it, but Jansen's best days are way, way behind him. Given there is no guard left of quality on the free agent market, all that's left to us is to swing a trade for someone like an Alan Faneca. We might have to give up a lot for him, but if we can't protect JC, we will not go very far this season at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
