Rewatched the game today

I was at the game so it was tough to diagnose live. I watched every short yardage play mulitiple times today to my wife’s chagrin.

There is not one thing, but multiple issues or breakdowns. So:

1) The lack of QB threat to pull the ball allows defenses to crash backside. This happened at least 2x
2) Aamil Wagner missed a backside block
3) We lost to a numbers advantage play side one time
4) Sometimes it is Love not seeing it correctly.
5) Both tackles got shoved back one time to the play side.

So, IMO, we need to figure something out on the backside to make teams play honest. Frankly, I’d create a Buchner or Minchey package.

We are mostly getting push to the play side. Also, snapping the ball 5 yards back in short yardage continues to be the dumbest thing coaches do on offense. Denbrock is not alone.
