2nd Quarter Analysis

Wanted to do something a little different this time around. Instead of focusing on "MVP's" on our team lets analyze the struggles and trends that could undo our chances at at Super Bowl.
As mentioned earlier in our 2nd Quarter Review we have struggled to dominate in the run game since the "patch". We went from breaking runs like these...
To struggling to even get 4 yards past the LOS. Its a known fact that many coaches have all the assists on, but it's like we're running with a force field around us now. A juke turns into not being able to move and random defenders leaping from 5 yards away to clip up our ball carriers. Before the patch(B.P.) Zeke Elliot was averaging 10 yards a carry. Now? It looks more like this...
Another disturbing trend we've noticed since the injury to DT Madara Uchiha is the struggle to contain powerbacks and the run game in general. Following the loss of Madara vs the Chargers, we've given up 100 yards to McKinnon, Fournette, and Blount. Wk9 saw LeGarrette Blount amass 161 yards with what was essentially the icer here(peep the LS)...
Finally, we faced our first real threat of a mobile quarterback in Deshaun Watson. While offensively he didn't a lot, he extended drives on fuckery such as this...
This is something DC Lucius Fox will have to correct going forward with mobile QBs such as Luck, Watson, Carr, and Bridgewater all in the mix for this playoff race. Till next time.
