We are so bad getting in and out of breaks at WR

by Mike (bart), Tuesday, September 10, 2024, 03:37 (31 days ago) @ Larz

Just literally zero explosiveness on any cuts, even with guys who presumably KNOW how do do it, like Mitchell or even Mitch Evans. I don't know if it's something they're teaching (several plays where it looks like the technique is "get into the defender and push off him to one side"), a physical issue, or something scheme related (e.g. we are trying to set up late breaking option routes and the DBs were muddying our reads and we just played slow), or what but it's jarring to see.

Leonard has a ton of problems with bad decisions and sloppy footwork but I don't know how anyone could get into any type of rhythm with the complete lack of crispness at WR. Collins does OK at times but otherwise it's really, really ugly
