Quote from: Pete on September 15, 2025, 02:27:58 AMOn the peters interception the reason that the receivers were so close was that Wilsons responsibility was to block the defender, obviously he didn't do that, although given how far Peters has jumped the play it may not have been his fault.

But if a behind-LoS pass then Pokey should have been dashing downfield to catch & block/hold Peters 5Y past LoS, not back behind LoS right next to Wheatie!  Even if Peters wants to jump, someone should have been in his face holding him from going around.  You know, as we see all the other great screen teams like MTL and SSK do all the time.

And even if you don't go downfield and just wait for Peters, when he's running right past you, shift over to intercept instead of pylon'ing it.  You're allowed to totally block that guy and blow him up if you're between him and the dead ball line / REC.

The execution on this screen was laughable.  And maybe it's because Pokey's so "new" with rejoining the team.  Maybe calling it on his side wasn't such a good idea.
