Week 8 - Raider Game II

1.  1-10; -41

Ace Y-Up H-Flanker SB

829 Naked

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Easy protection, but I wish Norv would quit running it up the middle for one yard on first down!

2.  1-G; 6

Pro Twins Rt. TO Weak Gun Z-Flanker (Wildfrog)

16 Power

LG-1.5; C-2; RG-2; LT-2; RT-2

The Wildfrog makes its' debut!  We run a Tackle Over set (TO) and offset the FB to the weak side (declaring strength to Y/Tight End still).  We motion to a flanker on the backside to seal for the pulling guard.  Notice the defender that goes over to cover our X (Rivers) is the first one to contact LT (the QB).  Dielman pulls nicely and actually misses the safety/LB.  However, the defender has to spin out to avoid contact and can't make the play.  The double team from Vasquez and McNeil is great, and they don't have to come off to pick up the Will or the Safety (Will runs through backside, out of play.  Safety gets caught up in the wash).  Clary and Hester both make nice blocks.  Touchdown.

Start of 2nd Series

3.  1-10; -29

Pro Twins Lt. Open Rt.

22 Iso

LT-2; LG-2; C-1.5; RG-1; RT-2

McNeil seals backside nicely.  Dielman does a good job of picking up the Will.  MCow does decently, but continues to struggle with staying locked on.  Vasquez falls as Hester gets a nice block, though he received more than he gave...OUCH.

4.  2-5; -34

Pro Twins Lt. Open Rt. Strong

70 Pro Max

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Good protection, penalty on the play.

5.  1-10; -39

Trips Bunch Rt. Open Lt. SB

27 Dart

LT-2; LG-2; C-1; RG-2; RT-2

Dart isn't a new play, but we haven't seen it a ton.  Dart (sometimes called Tag) is a basic pull play where the backside Tackle pulls around into the playside gap.  A very good play against Even front teams (4-3).  On this play, McNeil seals out, and the double team from Dielman and MCow is good.  However, MCow is unable to get the LB when he comes off the double team.  Clary's pull is nice, as is Vasquez's backside seal.  Now, it may look like Gates is pulling as well...he's not.  He simply can't handle #77 (Who had a career game against us).  Why he doesn't cut him, I can't say.  But it basically wrecks the whole play.  LT does well to get 3.  The WR isn't to blame, he's counting on the play staying inside.

 

6.  2-7; -42

Trips Bunch Lt. Open Rt. Gun Rt. (RB motions to a Quads Lt. Empty Gun look, 4 X 1)

50 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Very nice switch between Mcow and Vasquez.

7.  1-10; 48

Pro Rt. Twins Lt. Y-Flanker Up SB

26 Power

LT-2; LG-1.5; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Dielman's pull is nice, but he can't stick to the LB.  Gates can't get 77 (again), sigh.

8.  2-9; 47

Pro Twins Rt. Open Lt. Weak

50 Pro

9.  3-9; 47

Pro Trips Rt. Gun Lt.

61 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Absolutely horrible penalty call.

Start of 3rd Series

10.  1-10; -37

Pro Twins Lt. Y-Up

28 Stretch

LT-1; LG-2; C-2; RG-1; RT-1

Watch VJack and Gates.  Both do pretty awful jobs here.  McNeil gets away with a pretty blatant false start (he'll get away with another in the 2nd half) and then can't get a LB, safety, anything?  Dielman's pancake is the highlight of the play, as Vasquez is shed along with Clary (after some initial push from both).

11.  2-19; -28 (After Manu Penalty)

Pro Twins Lt. F-Wing SB

725 Pro Max

LT-2; LG-2; C-1; RG-1; RT-2

Vasquez gets shed and beat.  MCow comes off too soon and is unable to adjust to the LB rush.

12.  3-1; -46

Pro Rt. Y-Flanker Up

32 Belly

LT-2; LG-2; C-0; RG-2; RT-1

Have I mentioned that Gates isn't a very good blocker?  McNeil does a good job here.  MCow is "posterized" with a snap down.  Vasquez does a good job on the right side, but Clary is driven inside a bit much.

13.  1-10; -49

Pro Twins Lt. F-Wing

726 Pro Max

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Good protection here.

Start of 4th Series

14.  1-10; -22

Pro Lt.

29 Sweep

LT-2; LG-2; C-1; RG-2; RT-2

A great job all around...almost.  MCow is unable to cut his man and gets driven.  The right side does very well here.

15.  2-10; -22

Pro Trips Rt. Gun Lt.

61 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Nice switch between McNeil and Dielman.

16.  3-7; -25

22 Gun Lt.

50 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-1.5; RG-1; RT-2

Vasquez lunges and misses.  MCow hesitates when he thinks he sees a switch coming which causes him to get beat towards the end.  This basically puts two guys on Dielman, who holds up...barely.

17.  1-10; -45

Pro Rt.

25 Iso

LT-2; LG-2; C-1.5; RG-2; RT-2

MCow is unable to come off the double team cleanly and can't get the LB.

18.  1-10; 44

Pro Lt.

21 Iso

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-1; RT-2

Good double from McNeil and Dielman with Dielman getting a nice cut block on the LB.  Vasquez needs to keep going, as his GMP (guy makes play).

19.  2-9; 43

23 Gun Empty Y-On

50 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Very good job!

20.  1-10; 29

Trips Bunch Rt. Open Lt. SB

27 Dart

LT-2; LG-2; C-1.5; RG-.5; RT-2

Vasquez gets shed and his GMP.  MCow does well, but allows the LB to spin out and his GMP.  Clary gets blown up but gets the block.  Dielman gets a pancake!

21.  2-5; 24

Y Trips Rt. Open Lt. SB

28 Sweep

LT-1; LG-2; C-1; RG-2; RT-2

Gates gets blown up (great angle, he takes a false step with his left foot and places his helmet on inside instead of outside).  Vasquez has to get 77 for Gates.  MCow makes a bad cut block.  Dielman does well, but McNeil has to overtake this block so Dielman can release to LB.  McNeil goes over Dielman's block, and has no chance of getting  the LB.

22.  3-10; 29

32 Gun Empty

50 Pro

LT-1; LG-1.5; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

McNeil stumbles, and is unable to switch with Dielman.

23.  1-10; 15

Pro Rt. Strong

26 Power

LT-2; LG-0; C-2; RG-1; RT-1

Dielman doesn't turn up to get the Mike, who's in the hole.  Vasquez and Clary are piled up on their double team, so that neither can come off to Will.

24.  2-8; 13

22 Gun Rt.

25.  3-3; 8

23 Gun Empty Y-On

50 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-1

Clary is beat by a swim move.  Watch the endzone angle.  What is Dielman doing with his right arm?  Almost inexplicable.  Injury?  Coaching?  It doesn't cost us here, but I can't explain this technique.  Touchdown.

 

Start of 5th Series

26.  1-10; -20

Texas Rt.

24 Iso

LT-2; LG-2; C-.5; RG-2; RT-2

A good job from Dielman and Clary.  The double team from Vasquez and MCow starts with promise.  Possibly due to not enough help from Vasquez, MCow is unable to take over and secure the DT.  Vasquez does a very good job on the LB.

27.  2-9; -21

23 Gun Empty

50 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Good switches from both T-G combos.

28.  3-4; -26

Pro Trips Lt. Gun Rt.

60 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Very nice overall.  Vasquez is just a tad slow on the switch.

29.  1-10; 45

Pro Rt.

25 Iso

LT-2; LG-1.5; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Dielman does a good job on the double team, but can't secure the LB completely.  The double between Vasquez and Clary is also good, but Clary needs to latch on better.

30.  2-1; 36

Pro Rt.

32 Belly

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

OK, some honesty here.  I tried, but was only to grade Clary as a legit 2.  So why does everyone else get a pass?  Because we ran Belly and got the 1st down, OK?  If anyone wants to try to catch LT-RG and grade ‘em, go for it.  #90 is the GMP if that helps.

31.  1-10; 33

22 Gun Rt.

RB Screen Rt.

LT-2; LG-2; C-1; RG-2; RT-1

MCow...oh MCow.  Why don't you turn upfield?  I understand that Vasquez was a tad slow on his release, but you know Vasquez has the kick out and you're the lead.  Clary, normally is money on screens with his invite and snapdown.  On this one though, 77 continues his HOF day and is the GMP.

32.  2-2; 25

Y-Trips Rt. Open Lt. SB

26 Power

LT-2; LG-1.5; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Lucky for us, 77 goes out after running down the screen.  Gates is able to block the 7 tech, getting away with a hold in the process.  The double from Vasquez and Clary is good.  Dielman misses mostly, but forces the defender around him creating a seal.

33.  1-G; 10

Pro Rt. Twins Lt. SB

20 Trap (That's right, this was the game winner in Chargers-Raiders I)

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Dielman pulls and traps with a pancake (OK, the guy fell he bit so hard, but a pancake's a pancake).  Great job by Vasquez and Clary.  Touchdown.

34.  Kneel down.  No grade.

Pro Rt. Wing Rt.

25 Zone Cut (?)

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-1

Clary takes a bad angle to the LB and is unable to secure completely.  The holding call was bogus imo.  LT is shot by a sniper.

36.  1-20; -10

Pro Rt.

25 Iso

LT-2; LG-2; C-0; RG-2; RT-2

Great double from Dielman and MCow is wasted when MCow can't come off to get the LB and his GMP.

37.  2-19; -11

Blue Twins Rt. Open Lt.

50 Pro Max

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Nice.

 

38.  3-19; -11

Blue Twins Rt. Open Lt.

50 Pro Max

LT-2; LG-1.5; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Dielman actually has two switches on this play.  The first he handles fine.  The second, which appears impromptu, he's unable to get and allows mild pressure on Rivers.

Start of 8th Series

39.  1-10; -38

Y-Trips Rt. Open Lt. SB

61 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-1

LT does a VERY nice job of picking up a DT on this one.  I don't like the pick up scheme, putting LT on a DT is not a good idea but he makes it work.  Clary gets driven back but secures the block.

40.  1-10; -49

Pro Twins Lt. Open Rt. Strong

60 Pro Max

LT-2; LG-1.5; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

This one's a little on Rivers.  McNeil does right and walls the LB, but his ultimately his GMP.  92 gets some leverage on Dielman, forcing Rivers to step up and he then gets flushed.

41.  2-10; -49

Pro Lt.

29 Sweep

LT-2; LG-1; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Gates actually does a good job here (credit where it's due Antonio).  Hester does not do a good job.  The problem is caused by a LB blitz in the middle.  Pre-snap MCow is going to get 92, and Dielman will pull to get LB.  The LB blitzes at the last second and MCow picks him up.  Dielman starts to pull, then realizes he needs to get Seymour.  He does, but is driven back in the process.

42.  3-10; -49

13 Gun Lt.

70 Pro

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

The Raiders bring 7 and we have six in to block.  Rivers is in charge of "picking up" the seventh man.  That man should have been VJack who is WAO (Wide *** Open).  Tough and fast read, but that's the throw.

Thank you Chris Chambers, for all you've done for San Diego!  You will be missed (until we play the Chiefs).

46.  1-10; -28

Pro Rt. Strong

26 Power

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

McNeil's GMP, but not really his fault as LT inexplicably cuts back.  Dielman hits the Mike in the wash, MCow seals to what should be backside (his GMP as well).  Vasquez releases from the double team a tad slow.

47.  2-9; -29

Pro Rt.

724 Pro

Chop block on Dielman and MCow not called.

48.  1-10; -44

Pro Rt.

28 Sweep

LT-1.5; LG-1; C-2; RG-2; RT-2

Gates does better than horrible, and we have a play!  Backside troubles as McNeil gets away with his second false start, and then struggles to overtake.  Dielman falls before he can get to the LB.  Tolbert and Vasquez switch on the fly, it's beautiful to watch.  Clary's kick out is very, very nice.

 

49.  2-1; 47

Pro Rt.

32 Belly

LT-2; LG-2; C-2; RG-1.5; RT-2

Vasquez gets caught in a pile and can't get the LB.  Dielman does a good job here.

50.  1-10; 44

Pro Rt. Strong

20 Iso (Read Norv's lips...20 ISO!)

LT-1; LG-.5; C-2; RG-2; RT-0

McNeil can't reach his 4i, Dielman gets blown up and Clary has a whiff on the DE's swim move.  The Will never triggers, so MCow and Vasquez stay on their good double team.

51.  1-5; 39 (after penalty)

92 tools McNeil on this one.  Dielman does a good job, dives a bit early.  Vasquez gets the backside LB nicely.

26 Power

LT-2; LG-1; C-2; RG-2; RT-1.5

Dielman can't find the Mike in the wash, but may have if Sproles had stayed on track.  Clary struggles to overtake the double team when Vasquez leaves to get the Will.  Good job from MCow here.

56.  2-G; 6
