We don't have TEs that can block well, so we put Compton in as a 2nd TE and that just absolutely gives away that we're running.

The Niles Paul injury has been extremely costly. He was going to be our do-it-all TE. Then when we lost both Steiger and Lauvao we find ourselves getting beat in the interior too often. We set the edge pretty well - Trent and Moses do well there and Scherff is getting to the 2nd level well. But too often we give up penetration in the middle between LeRib and Long.

We can't run between the tackles because of them, everything goes to the edge. Again, too much of a tendency, but what can Jay do?

McC is doing a great job building depth but we simply need more. Give him a few more drafts and this thing might look pretty good. I don't think Jay would have the same tendencies if he had some core competencies on the field.

well said!
