Also, I believe we need to draft people who know how to block. This includes any wide receivers, as well. A blocking wide receiver can mean the difference of a 20 yard reception or a 45 yard touchdown. Our special teams unit suffers tremendously. The majority of the problems with the unit is their lack of blocking ability. Many people have admitted being upset because Michael Lewis' play seemed to have declined. However, now they see that no one on the team is having much success running back kicks either.
Deuce's lack of performance can also be attributed to horrible run blocking by the offensive line. And, before people decide to jump on my comment and claim I'm being unfair to quarterback Aaron Brooks, consider this: Run blocking and Pass blocking are two entirely different things. Right now, we have a decent Pass blocking line with horrible Run blocking abilities. Also, Horn is the only decent blocking receiver we have. I recall a couple of plays where I've seen Horn throw a block that made yards-upon-yards of difference. All of our receivers need to learn this trade. |
