Yeah, was interesting watching Warner's analysis of that. I wonder if he was actually supposed to just release or hold the block longer due to assignment and he missed it. Otherwise, that was a total failure of the protection call and not the player.
I also think he goes in the 1st because his grandfather is on record as saying that they've heard from many NFL front offices and every one of them said he'd be a 1st round pick. It was that info that informed his decision to declare for the draft.
Yeah. I’m definitely not condemning him because of the last game. He looks like he’s got a lot of upside. He just can’t be whiffing on blocks like that. He’ll learn.
I saw that. It really looked to me like he was supposed to chip and completely missed. Then he ran out like he was looking for someone to block instead of looking back at the QB. I have never seen a protection call where the TE runs by a blitzer and then doesn’t look back for the check down. I have to guess that’s on Ferg.
I'll have to go back but it looked like it was a chip inside to the tackle to pick up but the tackle was blocking down. Something got screwed up I have to think. Execution across the board was horrible in protection though with multiple players screwing up assignments it seemed or just wiffing.
That’s possible. But when have you seen that the TE then doesn’t look for the pass? He just kinda trotted out looking forward. It looked like he was looking for someone to block. Not even like he was running a route. Maybe he misunderstood the play call.
He has a few highlights on his X feed. Apparently the game is tonight on NFLN.
