Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4747792, member: 1559"] I'm not defensing the plays, but I looked at the 4 plays in the video and this is what I saw. Play 1: DBs read the play, but #14 badly missed a block. Linemen are not supposed to block the DBs at the line on that play. Play 2: 2 UConn players block 1 DB and the other DB made the tackle. That's a missed block. Play 3: DB didn't bite on pass, held, and made the tackle. Play 4: Backside effort from 97, but he pursued the ball carrier and did not contain. He was vulnerable to a reverse, but UConn has not run a reverse this year (I don't think). If he didn't make that tackle, it looks like it would have been a big play I think too many of the plays are slow developing and it looked life FIU was daring UConn to pass and if UConn passed, it would have opened up the run. We need some quick passes/slants to make positive yards and sometimes a big play. And, we need to figure out some vertical routes. Plus, I think we need, sometimes, a blocking back to help free the RBs. [/QUOTE]
