Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 4)

[redsk1]

Is it just me or does our run blocking suck a**? First team, second team and third team.

I know we are playing some good D's but even last night against Jacksonville our 1st team didn't run block well for that one series. I hope they pick it up and quick.

It's not you, but at the same time, we didn't really run the way we will in the season. Meaning, How many left end sweeps behind Samuels Dockery and with Sellers leading the way did you see? I don't think I saw any.

I know it's a smack session, but I am so excited, and drinking so much Kool-aid it's not funny. I think JZ ran this preseason perfectly. We used it to test schemes, players, and backups against firsts. JZ never got caught up in the Fan trap of "playing to win the game". He, and his staff, put specific players in position to win and to step up. That's a good pre-season to me. Also, no key injuries (although is anyone else worried about Carlos) is a good thing.

Well said. It's exactly why I'm not worried about the running game or the defense. I think both were very vanilla and nothing close to what we will see once the season starts rolling.

I could not agree more. I think the way things were done will pay dividends this year in a big way.
