Alex missing reads

[Aspengc8]

Just a few sample clips from the Steelers game.

First series with a little curl/flat concept. Slot sits right in the middle for a easy 5 yars, instead of forcing to JC.

Spoiler!

Next play, it doesnt look like Alex gets any depth on his sprint out. Conley comes free over the middle.

Spoiler!

Bottom of screen conley 1v1, gotta take that shot

Spoiler!

If alex keeps his eyes down field kelce is wide open

Spoiler!

I will add some more as I get more time.

Brutal, just brutal

That was with Chip Kelly at HC.

Any chance you can break down some of these passing concepts in more detail, ie what the QB should be reading pre and post snap?

I think Foles could do some awesome stuff if given the chance.

There's just too much damn speed and talent on this offense to be playing conservative football.

Thats where I'm at

The pieces are there for a genuine quick strike offense, if we had a QB capable of, and willing to make it so... Smith keeps the interceptions to a minimum, the only problem is the same holds true for big plays and touchdowns

Thank you.

Of course, people need to take it with a grain of salt, and realize every QB around the league miss guys a lot more than most people would suspect.

Need to look at what you posted still but I love when people post breakdowns on plays. Keep 'em coming- for Alex and anyone else!

I'm glad Aspen was able to provide this for you. I saw your comment in the other thread but forgot to respond that I didn't have access to the All-22 myself, was just basing my comment off of the live action.

Not a problem. I'm wasn't knocking ya, it's just tough to talk about it in nebulous generalities, and threads like this are, IMO, examples of what CP can offer that makes it a draw to frequent.

I'd love if it was a weekly regular of highlighting the 20 or so plays from all 3 phases from the previous game to better illustrate what's really going on and drive the discussion.
Of course, that's a rather time intensive ask for someone to review it all and pull them, and I know people have lives to attend to.

Maybe if more people had access to them and could post how Aspen was able to a "Tale of the Tape Repository" thread that would allow whomever to post a few or even 1 play in particular that caught their eye for discussion, would be a worthwhile addition to CP.

Totally feasible, but dependent really upon who & how many have access to A22. It's nice that you easily embed plays from their site if you do have access. I would have thought the NFL would have made linking or sharing any of their stuff a chore to have to work around.

Either way, I'm grateful for what is shared and threads like this!

Off topic, but is Maclin really a number 1 WR? He'd obviously be better under a QB that can get him the ball more but he wasn't a number 1 with Philly was he? I thought that was Jackson.

Smith and Reid have turned this franchise around, only small minded fans like yourself think otherwise.

Just did, rough estimate but kinda close lol. definitely not blown out of the water like you make it seem.

63.4 completion 17,835 yards 107 touchdowns 46 ints

58.9 completion 16,328 yards 96 touchdowns 71 ints

They were almost identical prior to Alex coming here

He had 1300 yards and 10 TDs in his last year in philly.

That was coming off a torn acl and with journeymen at QB.

He provides the total of cj age at WR...Alex just isn't trusting him, because unfortunately...Alex doesn't trust himself and if he still doesn't trust himself in the fourth year in the same system...he probably never will.

He's gonna have to play the best gal of his career the next 12 weeks for us to make the playoffs.

Thanks man. I hope he does but I'm not counting on it. Nevermind the 4 years in the system, he's 32 and has been the same QB more or less throughout his career. People waiting on a 32 year old QB to all the sudden get beyond an average state is asking too much. The excuses for Smith are old and tiring. He is who he is. The play is not gonna change until a different one is brought on...or dare I say...drafted? Perhaps? Lol.
