It's legal to punt the ball twice, but clearly it shouldn't be. In addition to the punter being across the line there were illegal players down field. Cluster fuck of a play with effectively a 75 yard penalty on the Rams. Shit happens.
Well based on the Rams 2 passing TDs putting Adams in coverage is misusing him.
He forgot he was Geno Smith, no attempt to read the defense
Honestly, I think it's almost time to put old Pete out to pasture and his mind boggling loyalty to assistant coaches who clearly aren't getting their guys properly prepared for the opposition. Also, I knew that game was lost early in the 2nd qtr, I think. When Wilson got them in the red zone and Pete did his usual " let's run the ball 4 times and better yet on 3rd and short, let's run it with our 3rd or 4th string RB." Classic Pete Carroll conservative thinking that we have seen for a decade over and over. When they ran it on 3rd down for nothing and Collins came back in, every Rams defender knew exactly what was coming.
That's what drives me nuts... When the defense turned around last year, it was when Adams was moving around along the LOS, blitzing, rushing the passer more... This year, he has rarely done so... We gave him a ton of money and gave up 2 1st rounders for his unique talent... We're not even taking advantage of his strengths... Was of money and compensation at this point unless they're going to utilize him like they did last year...
I agree that he was across the LoS so the punt shouldn't have counted in this instance but why do you think it should be illegal to punt it twice? What is the logic behind "it clearly shouldn't be (legal)?
Ever since he did the opposite in the SB (throw it when he should have run it), he has never been the same.
Actually, the SB call wasn't the wrong idea. It was just the wrong way to do it. Should have been a bootleg with Lynch as the outlet option, not a slant to a 4th WR.
It should have been a handoff to the best short-yardage back in the game.
He was 1-6 on the year on 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1, Marshawn is explosive when he gets his feet moving. He was already stopped on 4th and one midfield in that SB, bootleg would have been the right call, like mentioned by Dr Strange
That defense would have stuffed him. They had all their bigs up front. It was just the wrong play call for Wilson's skillset. Give him a run or pass option. Marshawn was a very good receiver too. But instead they try threading a needle to a weak WR. It is ancient history though.
Shit... Welcome aboard!
Maybe so. Either way, I am in agreement about a coaching overhaul.
