Run D Summed Up In One Play: Arian Foster's 74 Yard TD Run

I have watched this run about 25 times today: LINK HERE

The defense lined up in a two deep zone with Kameron Wimbley playing outside of Houston on the Left Side.

Houston was lined up in a Power I formation. That, in my opinion is where this all started.

From there, the line sealed off our entire front four to the left and Wimbley to the right.

Branch and Huff were left alone to battle the FB and a lineman blew Quentin Groves up 10 yards downfield. The FB took Branch out and Huff completely blew his angle and was left trying to grab Foster around the chest. That in itself, by Huff, was terrible.

First mistake: Not calling time when they were in an obvious nickle/pass rush set and the offense was in a power I

Second Mistake: Not crowding the line

Third mistake: Groves getting rag dolled

Fourth Mistake: Huff taking a bad angle

Any one of these four could or would have prevented the TD.

3.5 Mistake, Branch swirved to take the blocker on instead of dropping low and plugging the gap

This play is disgusting. I don’t usually drink before noon but I need one now.

have to disagree it is all summed up in one play BUT

not being on the field of course I could be off on this but usually there is a D captain who reads the formations and calls defensive adjustments. I think that guy is McClain for us so if rookie captain does not call an adjustment then that’s on the players, The coaches can’t step in every down and call time out. They should prepare our guys for these situations and I can’t imagine they wouldn’t.

bottom line is they gashed that side of the field numerous times with or without Foster’s run.

by Al's Wingman on Oct 5, 2010 6:50 PM PDT reply actions  

Cable dismissed reports that Andre Johnson wasn't playing and said they were preparing for

him and Houston’s fine QB. Apparently, the fear of being passed on was so strong that even the I-formation couldn’t budge this hardheaded bunch from their disciplined commitment to stop Houston’s vaunted pass attack. I doubt a double-wishbone would have caused the Marshmallow/Cable-prepared McClain to adjust the D; such was the rigidness of this disastrous and shameful game plan.

they have a d coordinator and lb coach

marshall is responsible for preparing the D not cable. Mike Haluchak (LB) coach has been sitting in his office (almost) since the day lane kiffin was fired supposedly working on this very problem. New personnel on the field, same result.

What the hell is Cable doing then? I see him doing nothing during the games and he shows

up covered in sweat at press conferences to give his ever growing hamstring report before spewing superficial and vague sound bites. But Marshmallow is tops on my shit-list after Sunday. Haluchak looks like a prison guard who spends too much time looking at pinups.
The whole crew is deplorable, honestly, it’s depressing having the Raiders in the hands of these cockroaches.

i don’t know what to make of al’s decisions with coaches other than they are the types of people who will not be insubordinate. Most coaches come aboard ready to do their own thing.

I don't think he's allowed to make adjustment's....

Simply because they don’t make adjustments. Oh you get a defender to go in motion with a receiver, but other than that the original set stays the same !!! I said earlier on another post, once they line up …….That’s It !!!! And more times than not, they’ve lined up out of position, considering the play that’s been run, and it’s after the fact it’s noticed!!! But this is what’s bugging the shit out of me. They can run that play over and fucken over again, and still NO ADJUSTMENTS are being made. That’s COACHING !!!!!

A lot of the fans on this blog are blinded by their love for the team they fail to recognize this.

Same reason Seymour was a one-man wrecking crew on a couple of plays. However if you see a good defense like Baltimore or the Jets play they have multiple players swarming around the ball at once holding players to one yard losses or two yard gains max.

How ’’bout a turnover, or some pressure, or even a hurry maybe?

How is it that all of last year we were among the top ten in sacks, but one of the teams whose entire squad’s interceptions were eclipsed by a single player on another team? Lack of talent sans Nnamdi in the defensive backfield. We need all the ball hawks back there we can get, and it seems we’re sorely lacking after the Asom1.

Asomugha is all over the field, he makes adjustments! Ro Mcclain, makes adjustments,

mercurial adjustments, still, don’t paint the whole d with a broad bush. The Defense is a blitz first, tackle later concept, which would be an okay strategy, if you have safety help that can mitigate those 20+ yard killer plays. We don’t have that luxury.

Ok hold on one sec

You have made 2 posts about defense. They seem to be contradictory. The first one you solely blame Ro with your headline. Now it is Huff, Groves and Wimbley basically. So may I ask you to come to a consensus and make a choice as to the blame does belong to, either as a person or group.
IMO the coaching blows and they are no where near teaching Ro the way he should be and confining him to the 1970’s D calling plays with almost no shift or audibles. We are for sure fielding the wrong group of guys for the most part and utilizing them poorly (an understatement).

Edit to my post

I meant to say you blame Huff, Wimbley and Groves basically on this play as an overall analysis. How does Ro factor in now? Where is the coaching in terms of well coaching and recognition of a needed time out or at least trying to get a shift from the sidelines to the D?

Your post is stating it was on the safties but the main two are Groves getting blasted of the line and the defense not making adjustments once they saw the formation.

McClain did not play well as mentioned in your other post but he is only drafted to play MLB for a defense that has no clue what their prime function is. He should be the ILB with another experienced ILB beside him and a 330+ LB NT in front of him. Instead he is playing MLB with a bunch of other guys playing out of position. That is our run defense in a nut shell and we didn’t even need to play a game to figure that out.

Not sure about the 3-4 concept. Not sure we have the bodies at LB. We could however do some hybrid D with some personnel switches in in situations or to God Forbid have a different look. Ro is not to blame IMO. The coaches and his royal highness are at the root of the cause.

Right now we don't but McClain's development is retarded with this scheme.

He has not clue what to call because the coaches are like, oh shit Al is on the phone. He noticed we were running a zone-blitzing and a 46 formation. He doesn’t like it. Also the players are the fault of the owner again. We could have had Cam Thomas in the 4th or 5th round but he wanted to draft Jacoby Ford or the robot instead. Also all the other years before this year when he drafted style over substance we couldh ave had more bodies out there to help McClain get acclimated to the system. Maybe if this had happened we wouldn’t have even gotten a chance to draft McClain because the players would have kept us from drafting in the top eight for once.

Run def and pass def against Texas from a Raider fan in Houston who listened to player shows here

Some Texans players have come out and said that the success with the run was based on an allignment issue with LaMarr Houston and Q. Groves playing the run like a DE and not a LB and scraping off his block. M. Huff’s poor angle made a 20 yard run into a 74 yard run. On the Texans TD pass to TE Dreesen was based on film study of Raiders tendancy to go to zone in the red zone and LB’s not being able to react.

I’m glad someone here actually reviews plays in detail. We need to put Howard at safety or something because this ain’t working.

I would prefer a more powerful Strong Safety and Free Safety. I would try mixing in my new idea, Howard, with old ideas, Brown and Mitchell.

As I’ve mentioned before, with 5 (lineman) + 1 (fullback) + 1 (tightend) = 7 Blockers VS 4 (lineman) 3 (linebackers) = 7 Defenders.
