Singletary is sucking - OLine is doing fine - Game footage within the thread...

[LiterateStylish 11,561]

Just did my weekly film and study and goodness gracious.

How big does Singletary and Moss need the holes to be?

First Example - Singletary has two choices. Follow his lead blocker and Pro-Bowl center Mitch Morse into a hole where he only has to beat one person (the safety), or cut back into an area where he has no lead blocker and there is an array of Chiefs. What does he do? He cuts back and is immediately tackled.

 

Second Example - Where is the damn burst? You seriously can't hit this hole and take it to the house, or at least get 20+ yards? Until I saw this play, I forgot that Singletary ran a 4.7 40-yard dash at the combine. To put that into perspective, Josh Allen ran a 4.76.

 

Third Example - This one is on Diggs. The O-Line has everyone blocked. They're doing their job. However, Diggs gets schooled and his defender makes the tackle.

 

Fourth Example - Another play where he has a choice of two huge holes. Option 1 sends him him into the middle of the defense, where there is 3 Chiefs d-linemen and a safety bearing down. If any of them shed their block, play over. With Option 2 you have to beat one safety and you take it to the house. Singletary chooses Option 1 and is tackled after 2 yards.

 

Fifth Example - This is Zach Moss, who apparently has the burst of a turtle. Tackled after a couple yards.

 

Sixth Example - In this play, he has the entire right side of the field open, but decides to hesitate and bury his head into the linemen instead of bouncing it out. This clip is animated gif and it's pretty large, so you may need to give your browser a moment or two to display it.

 

 

PS - On the flea flicker, Josh had Diggs open. Angle that anywhere accurately towards the corner and he walks in for the TD.

For those were saying we weren't physical enough blah blah blah.

For once I agree with you Lit.

 

His vision is not there, we really needed to get Bell

Yep.

THIS (above) is why McD went after Bell.

[Victor7 89,726]

Not trying to disagree. But some of those holes could've closed half a second after the stills. Honestly I don't know. I don't have the time to do a full game analysis. We have to rely on your word. You love shitting on this team at the smallest of chance so I'm not buying it. At least not completely. To me its both. I can certainly believe that Singletary is missing holes just as much as I've seen him get hit behind the LOS and our line opening exactly cero holes. 

McD going after Bell is just good sense. Singletary or not Bell is a baller and teams should always be on the look out for players.

You think a hole the side of a mac truck closed the next frame?

I even included a video as an example.

Really reaching there a bit Vic.

"You love shitting on this team at the smallest of chance so I'm not buying it."

Uh, i'm defending the O-line. Are they not part of the team now?

[The Chosen 7,958]

I noticed this during the game, he seems to lack vision, and or his hitting the hole where is coaches are telling him to. In contrast, Moss tends to turn his back to the online and tries to push backwards an awful lot instead of lowering his head and running through defenders. 

[DannyBoy 20,062]

I noticed his lack of acceleration at the hole.  That may go hand in hand with a lake of field vision or indecisiveness but he was not exploding at the line like before.  

[Topas 5,444]

I agree with Vic. EG the Second example. There is a LB closer to the yellow marked area. He is quicker there than singletary ... although that does not mean Singletary is not to blame. It a just too one sided as usual from Lit ...

Allen is inaccurate, everything else on Offense is great ...

Daboll sucks and holds everybody on offense back

Russ Brandon sucks and is the reason the Oline does not block well ...

etc etc etc 

not wrong ... but hyperboled (if this is a word)

Well you are also shitting on the runners soooo. There's also other threads of you shitting on Allen, Beane, Edmunds, McDermott. This needs no explanation. You know damn well. 

As for the topic. 

I hadn't seen the GIF. That one's pretty bad. He missed a big gain. Like I said. I have no doubt Singletary is part of the problem. But its not all on him IMO. It wouldn't surprise me at all if some of those others you posted closed up a fraction of a second and you just picked the perfect moment of the video to make it seem bad. If you didn't and those holes were all there the whole time by all means accept my apology. But I doubt it ;-)

Of course its not all him.

But he is certainly not helping.

He is missing big holes and he is also making poor choices on small holes.

The 2nd example.

Mitch Morse is pulling (don't you see him?) and he would take care of that LB.

Not to mention, a RB needs to make a guy miss now and then. It's not all about getting wide open lanes to the endzone.

This is why I’ve been yelling “STOP RUNNING THE BALL” every fucking game this season.

I have to agree.

Just pass the damn ball until they are forced to put everyone in coverage, then run for a play or two.

There is a reason why they wanted Bell.

 

[daryls61 8,184]

Well, you have to be able to run the ball a bit or Allen will see 2 high safeties all the time and have to throw underneath all the time. Lets see more Yeldon.  

[Zan186 2,736]

Runners are supposed to run to a gap, the great RB's can improvise....Motor is good but not great.  He is not a bell cow RB.  Moss is Motor just slightly slower but more power.  However, if your O line blows the D line off the line you get....pretty much what KC was doing.  The O line is always the problem when your running back is not getting 3 to 4 yards a carry.

Every time they run the ball I think to myself ‘another wasted play’.

If they just can't run, they could just dink and dunk down the field. 4 yard pass or run - no real difference. Pats lived of this type of offense for years.

I have no easy solution/suggestions.  We missed on Le'Von.   Bringing Bell in would have been very interesting.  Alas, we can't draw 5 new cards.  We have what we have.

In the meantime we do have TJ "the rocket" Yeldon we can rotate in!  Just load him up with Stick'um so he doesn't drop the rock.

[Bumbles247 26]

I'm reminded of CJ Spiller. The dude was exciting as hell in the open field, but couldn't see the daylight to save his ass. There would be wide open spaces  a little to the left or right and he would just run into the back of his blockers. And watching it was just like, WTF Dude?

[Buffalo13 21,919]

So what gives here?  He was fine (or at least much better) at hitting these holes last year.  Maybe Beane trades for a different guy as the deadline approaches.  But still, I've always bought into the idea that you can find RBs in a lot of places so hopefully one or both of our 3rd rounders figures it out.

I'm at a loss with Moss as well. I loved him coming out.  I thought he'd be a really good player right away.  Whoops.

And then Fred Jackson, running behind the same line, with the same holes, would blow right through them.
