Seriously guys... not to say this loss
was solely because of Chaney, but good Lord.
No screens, no slants, no draws, no unbalanced lines, no getting the ball in Swift’s hands for the entire first half.
His only reponse to that rush was max protect without realizing that when you have 8 blocking on a two man pass pattern that the D can then have rhat many more coming as well... the notion of TE’s chipping to help with the rush and then releasing is a concept he can’t even conceive. Play action on 1st down and then slants... nope. No traps on their interior linemen who were shooting gaps.
Nope... none of that.. Just shotgun handoff and run up the gut for nothing until it was 3rd and long and they were pinning their ears back.
Now don’t get me wrong... I am not saying any of rhat would have changed the outcome of the game.. we were whipped every way you can be whipped.. mentally and physically. Regardless though, you still want to see your team ATTEMPT some things that are the type of things you do when facing what we were facing. The fact that it wouldn’t have made a difference doesn’t excuse the fact that we didn’t do any of those things.
This describes what Chaney’s play calling was yesterday:
ETA: Guys I know that I have demonstrated a lot of vitriol towards Chaney but I think our young men deserve better than that.
