OL gurus - First TD

Thanks for all the insight. It does seem maybe Brown missed an assignment. At the same time, I don’t recall seeing a blocking scheme where you expect a RB to take on a DE 1:1. I will take a closer look at that in future games.

Here you go.
 
I showed this in Upon Further Review. McCoy taps RG to give the line slide call left. The RB should take that edge in this situation most of the time (I obviously do not know their calls for certain).

Definitely want to clean up those communication issues.

What a throw though.

McCoy at RT. DE lined right in front of him. No shifts or anything are happening by the DL. Mensah in the gun with no RB to his right. At the snap, McCoy lets the DE run right past him and instead decides to double the DT. Fortunately Mensah has one of the quickest releases I have seen. Gets rid of it and then gets lit up by the DE.

Please tell me this was not the intended blocking scheme?

And if it wasn’t, what in god’s green earth is McCoy thinking just letting a guy drill his QB? Tell me there is a good answer for this other than looking completely stupid out there.

Some times you let the DE go and he is the read…

They most assuredly did not expect the DE to crash like that.

That's what full slide is, the RB picks up some type of edge rusher
