[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 758628, member: 3774"] Just observations in the midst of a team that’s learning, mostly. Sims badly locks onto spots, not sure what he sees. I think that’s why he hits some defenders squarely in the numbers as they are positioned between the spot he wants and his WR, who is coming into the area. I thought up to now that he was staring down his Wr but today he seemed determined to go to a spot, DB and LBs are following his eyes to the spot. My impression is that the OL isn’t as good as some think in protection and being a true freshman Sims is getting nervous feet, he seems rushed in his stature in the pocket, almost like he’s thinking he has to get rid of it ASAP, and his pocket awareness is poor, hence the fumbles when he’s hit ( I don’t think he is feeling the real pressure because he’s feeling pressure in general, of course I’m most likely wrong. There were plays where he read his checks but his feet never stop moving as he was in the pocket. I think the long pass to Camp was a second or third read though, which is good. This is a complaint and I’ll admit it. I just don’t understand our LB play ! I watch one of them in particular and I just don’t understand what he sees or is doing. There is a lot of dancing when a linemen is in his way, almost as if he ( our LBer) is a ball carrier trying to juke a tackle. On other plays he goes 100 MPH into the gap or the scrum, often it’s the wrong gap and it looks like he thinks he can blow up the scrum Rather than playing over the top and meeting the RB coming out the end. On another play he paralleled the scrambling QB and kinda danced that juking crap 5 yards in front of the QB when there was nobody between them. He never committed to going toward the QB, that resulted in another 3rd down conversion On a pass completion, I think he did the same thing on NDs first TD. Can someone watch NDs rushing TD after our 3rd quarter fumble (when ND drove down and went up 24-7) and tell me where our LBer was going on the TD run ? The RB scored by running exactly where our LB vacated to blast into a gap on the opposite end of the play. Again I may be wrong but someone please explain what he’s doing or what you think he’s doing, please ! I don’t think he’s reading the field, angles or anything else. It’s almost as if he makes up his mind before the play and just blast a spot on the snap. Maybe that’s what they want him to do, when he blast the right gap he looks like he’s making an awesome play, I’m not sure given the fact that the next play he will be totally out of position again. I think our LBer play alone is the reason we give up so many 3rd downs. They just aren’t where I think they are suppose to be. I’m half asking and half bitchin, Ibeeballin can you help me ?
