Re: QB Sneak
The whole play calling still really was sub par. You go away from whats working, before the other team team stops it?
Bradford is the slowest, most immobile QB I have ever seen. Its why he is a turnover machine. He can throw a nice ball, has just enough arm strgth, but he can move and throw. He looks like he is 50 years old when he tries. Otherwise he's pretty good. Needs to rethink a few passes but hes good enough to win games, a lot of game if we had an Oline and he was mobile.

Re: QB Sneak
Maybe they can try a sneak with McKinnon. Line him up in the wildcat then run under center and snap it. He's not a power back but he's going to be better than Bradford and has experience taking snaps under center.

Re: QB Sneak
I still don't see why they don't line up Patterson in the backfield for short yardage. He's scrappy as heck and always fights for the tough yards. Not to mention that at the goal line he can jump over the pile, if need be. Asiata ain't doing that.
Re: QB Sneak
Why can't we get any push? Is it problems with Berger or Fusco?

John Lynch doesn't think they get low enough.

Re: QB Sneak
He doesnt need to be a running QB to do a sneak. Plenty on non-running QBs do them all the timechicagopurple wrote:He is not a running QB and we cant afford the injury.... well he will ikely be killed soon anyways given our non-existent OL....

THIS! It gives an extra blocker, and minimizes ball handling. C'mon man!!!!!S197 wrote:Maybe they can try a sneak with McKinnon. Line him up in the wildcat then run under center and snap it.

Put CP back there, and a heavy body.

The issue would still persist. It is not making the initial block but sustaining them. That's the biggest issue. By the time CP or JK gets to the line, he will be blown up. The QB sneak works great because it is an instant play; snap and you are directly moving forward.

Re: QB Sneak
all these desperate wishes are just absurd...none of your suggested plays above will mean anything without blocking. Its all just futility.
Re: QB Sneak
There could be something to that. I see technique issues on the offensive line, including their irritating inability to get off the snap quickly.PacificNorseWest wrote:

Re: QB Sneak
Sparano's OL has been a disaster. I don't know how much of that is on him but even taking their talent deficiencies into consideration, the line appears to have taken a serious step backward since the firing of Davidson.losperros wrote:There could be something to that.

Re: QB Sneak
You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip. I think it's unquestionable that Davidson had more talent to work with than Sparano does. Specifically with the injuries he's had to deal with.Mothman wrote: Sparano's OL has been a disaster.
