Am I crazy to think after seeing Bobby Evans play today that we would have a better starting five with Whit-Evans-Corbett-Edwards-Hav and Blythe on the bench? Evans brought a lot of physicality to the game after Edwards got hurt.
This is what I've been saying all year. Did you see how big the dude is? That is one big bad ass boy! Stupid Kromer thinks he and Anchrum are OT's LOL Evans would be one bad ass RG with Edwards at RT. That would open some running lanes and you would run right behind Evans on short yardage.
I would love to see this o-line next year.
LT Whitworth
LG Corbett
C Shelton
RG Evans
RT Noteboom
Edwards swing OT, Allen C and Brewer OG
The way this o-line is setup by Kromer makes no sense to anyone who understands o-line play. The reason the Rams struggle to play smash-mouth football is because they have a Center who is soft and Edwards is too damn tall to play OG where he has to get low enough to get the leverage. That o-line above gives them some real beef up front that can also move. I watched Shelton at UW and this guy plays like a raging bull. He can get to the second level and he's a mismatch for even a MIKE.
When Whit retires probably in 2022 the Boom moves back to LT and Edwards to RT. I watch these guys struggle playing out of position and it makes me so damn angry at the waste of good talent because their coach doesn't know crap.
Every board has a few posters who lack perspective.Seahawks fans are adding to their “trade Russell” threads...
Truth - it's been shown time and time again that his stature does impact his ability to see the whole field, particularly on crossing routes over the middle.
I think at some point you might have to consider that that limitation hands the defense a considerable advantage. They essentially don't have to cover a wide selection of routes and in particular, quick throws. After a while, the book is out on how to stop them. And every year becomes a scheming exercise as to how to draw up (or cover up) the offenses limitations. This year those schemes worked for 6 games until we were solved.. push the pocket up the middle,, stand up the o linemen. Clog up passing lanes and Russ will HAVE to hold the ball.
Not being able to hit over the middle, short and medium routes is a consistent issue and after 9 years, I find it hard to belive that coaches just refuse to call those plays because the just forget to. Either they are inept, or they should be hailed geniuses for working around those things the offense just can't do because of Russ's inability to hit certain throws.
Like I said, I love him. But at a certain point you have to weigh whether it's more likely that all the coaches are just insane, or that the issue is with the QB. Amd not his ability, talent, heart, smarts or HOF fight, but a simple limitation.
I'm telling you nobody is getting open. It's not Russ height. The defense of the other teams are better.
That's just not true. I have all 22 and watch the same thing every weekend. When pressure comes we have no answer. Russ, although he often has an outlet or a crosser won't pull the trigger.
The thing that's difficult to understand is why we seem to have almost eliminated crosses and shallows from the playcalling. Maybe it is just as simple as them knowing that Russ isn't going to hit them because he can't often see them and that makes them too high risk.
