Moehrig was my top choice there but after we stupidly didn't move up and he was gone I wanted Ojulari, who looks like a budding star. He supposedly had health red flags so who knows how we graded him, but there's a 0.0% chance Joseph was a better prospect on the field than Ojulari.

The bad thing is the season could end before we have a firm grasp on what we have with him and also Wright.

The more I look at this, the worse it looks for LVE.

Presnap LVE points at #3 and then points at Kearse, clearly telling Kearse 3 is his man.

Then 3 goes in motion and both Kearse and LVE follow him.

When LVE drifts towards 3's motion that leaves LVE flatfooted and like 5 steps behind.

Why tell Kearse to cover 3 but then follow him when 3 goes in motion?

I think he's just kind of soft and flaky. He's been dropping balls over the middle his entire time here, and as far as I can tell it's either just him losing focus or bracing for a hit.

He needs to toughen up a bit and stop the preening.

He did point to his visor on one of the drops so I think probably something was going on, but I agree with him not blaming that after the fact. No excuses.

That's on Diggs and Lewis, and maybe partially LVE for not scraping all the way over the top of the pile made by Lewis/Diggs.

I'm certain Sturm thinks it's on Diggs too because he loves railing on his run defense, but frankly I don't give the first fuck about how a CB defends the run if they're giving me 5+ INT's a year, let alone 10+.

Nah, both Lewis and Diggs had blockers on them. Hell, Diggs was blocked by a frigging lineman who probably has 100 pounds on him, not sure what you'd want him to do there.

Meanwhile LVE was free, but got caught chasing the guy he just told someone else to take then ran into an engaged blocker effectively taking himself out of the play two different ways. That's straight up Jaylon shit.

LVE's pre-snap shift wasn't a huge deal, it was just to account for the jet sweep motion. But yea, Diggs was 1 on 1 with an OL, that's very difficult work but other CB's have been able to work around linemen in the same situation.

Lewis was more to blame in my opinion since he did basically nothing to funnel it back inside and never even squeezed the lane, and then yes, LVE fucked up by taking a poor angle and should've tried to work past Lewis instead of running right into him.

Actually, LVE is pointing at the C/LG gap...

Lewis needs to do better, the RE needs to do better, LVE needs to do better. There were a number of guy on this play that fucked it up. LVE takes the correct steps and he has a chance to get the back before he gets to the hole. The DE biting inside basically fucked up too. Then you have Lewis getting blown up on a block that he shouldn't. I have no problem with Diggs. That's a brutal assignment and he has to keep outside leverage otherwise he creates an easier running lane.

Basically a lot of guys were fooled on this play. And frankly they shouldn't have all sold out so hard.
