Ok. Let me address this. Everyone is bitching that Ewers gets balls batted so I put the Arch ball getting batted too. A person SHOULD chip a rusher on the way to the flat. When I said that you guys said I was making excuses for Ewers. By putting the Arch ball getting batted maybe you guys see that it's not just a Ewers problem it's an US problem.
Stats never tell the whole story. You can have two teams rush for 125 yards per game. Both teams rush for exactly 5 yards every time they hand it off. If you ask which team is the better running team the stats will say that they are both exactly equal. However when you turn on the tape team A is getting their 125 vs a stacked box while team B is getting their 125 vs a 3 man front. Then team B comes up against a team wanting to load the box and their productivity drops in half and no one can figure out why while team A keeps chugging along at their 125 per totally unaffected because they always see loaded boxes.
Last game the Vandagriff kid was struggling. Then the Boley kid came in and looked much better than him or so said Derka. However, as soon as the freshman came in PK started calling a shit ton of blitzes because that's the rule vs a freshman, leaving us completely exposed on the back end 1v1. Guys, knowing he is a freshman, shirked their responsibilities and started taking chances causing coverage busts. The kid was just airing balls out and it caught us off guard. However, as soon as we went back to normal coverage he threw right into double coverage and got picked. Stats will show him as the better player but he likely wasn't.
