Mark Bullock's twitter .. no individual play breakdown and film study, have to pay for that now. When he was w the Athletic theyd tease you with a few free film breakdowns.

Really want to find a breakdown of that 3rd and 16 the LAC converted.

That was as bad as AG's fumble.

No breakdown, but here is the play. Seems to me like... *drumroll* Bostic follows the TE in the flat way too much and leaves his zone (the central third of the field) wide open.
Also, McCain backpedals too much IMO. He may be in position to make the tackle short of the sticks if he stops at the sticks...
No pressure sure doesn't help either.

Take your educated guesses:

Looks like everyone was expecting someone else to do something, instead we end up with Allen sitting down in the middle of 5 guys, safeties look to be sitting way too deep but what do I know

^^^^^

The ole Bostic special. Literally running around doing nothing and covering no one.

The FO and Rivera failed this team at LB in the offseason. No way Bostic should even be on the field in that situation.

And also the safety dropping back to beyond the marker to make a nice easy hole for Allen. That's just piss-poor all around. Embarrassing.

Safeties (McCain and Collins) were waaay too deep, and Bostic didn't help matters as he seemed out of position. That was far too easy of a completion.

By the way, I listened to the post game show, of course from Sunday, yesterday. Fred Smoot basically stated what I was saying in the game thread during the game. He said we was beaten by the pen, meaning the chalkboard and x's and o's, versus just being physically out whipped. And, I agree.

Smoot thought JDR should have sent more blitzes between the A and B gaps to help nullify the Chargers and Herbert's quick passing, as many of the Chargers' plays were to negate our pass rush and take advantage of matchups and their playmakers. Once again, things I stated in the game thread as it was obvious what they were doing IMO.

They schemed us well for the most part, and Smoot, in so many terms, wasn't happy with JDR's game plan. Sunday's loss was more on coaching than anything else, and I think a handful of others on this forum practically said as much.

Lastly, Kam Curl only played 37 snaps whereas Landon Collins played 65. I hope that was a case where Curl may have been cramping as some players (ie, Fuller, Young, Sweat, and a couple others) tapped out a few plays due to early season conditioning or not being conditioned. With that being said, Curl needs more snaps.
