Raiders Skins POST GAME

So here is the one where Perine left some yards on the field. Listening to Cooley and Riggins this AM, they were saying that he wasn't patient with his runs. I didn't see many instances where he was missing big holes, but I did see what they were talking about with plunging forward without letting his blocks develop / helping to setup his blocks. Here's an example:



After the handoff he begins pressing straight forward too quickly. If he were to hesitate here he can get the LBs to commit one way or another and see where his line opens a lane.


A nice lane opens to the left, but Perine has already pressed right up his lineman's ass and limited his options.


So he plunges forward and is stuffed.



I have a feeling that this is common for young RBs and coachable, as opposed to poor field vision which is not. I'm hoping it's the former rather than the latter.
