Josh in shotgun on 3rd and goal from the 2. You have a guy that is gonna go up the gut and score 6 just about every time. I was most upset with that play. 

Let’s all hope they all learned shotgun is not the way to go there.

good find.

 

holy crap knox was just awful on that, the angle on the camera shows how awful his move was.  he had room on the right and if he breaks a tackle it is a big one.

Gave the ball to Knox behind the line of scrimmage with seven yards to go for a first down. Does anyone know how this play fits into a bigger schemes thing?

Could have cost us.

Yep. Most see it as a bad check by Allen but Knox definitely had room.

There were a couple checks to screens it seemed like to me that were pretty good reads Baltimore just out executed us.  They were real good rallying to the football and tackling all night

How many passes were attempted down the field.  If it wasn't a bubble screen, Josh often checked down to a dump off to RB.  Take the training wheels off Brady

I don’t think this is entirely on Brady, there were at least a handful of plays where Josh looked down field and came back to the check down.  The result was short gain, BUT not forcing the ball resulted in no turnovers and enough points to win.

And on another offensive note, I don't trust Coleman at all. I'm genuinely at the point where I think he is better served on the bench. The offense looked fine without him for the month he was injured.

 

I have hopes for him in the future but he simply cant separate right now and when the ball is thrown to him he still has trouble catching it at times. On the play he was "interfered" with (which probably should have been OPI), the ball went right through his hands. 

And if you can't separate against a 30 year old DB coming off a torn ACL and torn achilles, then yikes.

I hate to admit it, but you are spot on.  He should be on the Bench and Cooper should be taking the snaps.  I like the kid, but he’s not getting it done right now.

I would say it was the weirdest game plan (at least second half plan) I have ever seen.  I agree that some of it was audibiling to other plays though. 

 

Josh also looked uncomfortable with the fronts the ravens were showing.

 

My one big complaint is that we never even tested the outside corners, outside of the one DPI.  Their corners struggle against bigger receivers. 

I just went back and watched the first half and the difference in play calling seemed jaw dropping. There was zero attempt to push the ball downfield and I think it really hurt us to be honest.

There was so much space out toward the sideline. I guess he wanted to try to use his blockers and get caught up in that muck. Not great awareness by Knox on this play.

I like Knox, but he is not a playmaker with the ball in hands.
