Thomas: 89.1
Ezeudu: 28.6
Bredesen: 50.5
Feliciano: 40.2
Glowinski: 48.8
Neal 44.6
Thanks to the blogger I borrowed those figures from, but they are revealing, Maybe even damaging and defining.
We;ve all been high on the size and athleticism of Ezeudu, but it's fair to aak.....how can those numbers be that bad - even after making allowances for a rook? Glowinsky has been poor at pass blocking (and Bobby Skinner almost devoted a whole show to that incompetency) but unless numbers DO lie), simply compare his awful numbers with Ezeudu. In my unqualified very often wrong opinion: I don't think you can be that awful and ever bring your game up to speed.
But it highlights how bad this group (Thomas of course excepted) has been.
Ane even that's got to be put into context: we're asking the QB to change radically in the third system he's been in in four years. From quick release and no mistakes to hold on to the ball and take chances.
Wow, that would send the great Aaron Rogers to a psycholigist.
And Shepard notes that the very disappointing receivers virtually don't know where they are going. Game film shows Jones positioning them on almost every play,
No receivers, gosh awful pass blocking, new risky system,
I'm gooing to maintain that only the brilliance of Thomas and Barclay and yes, the accruarcy and running ablity of Jones - has kept this crew respectable.
But I see hope. toney is so darn important and so desperately needed. Bredeson over Exeudu the rest of the way now, Toney cocoon-emerges and he's a dancing butterful wiht a wasp's sting; Jones more comfortable; Felicianno and Evan settle in; a developing continuity that sees a bad line aspiring to reach mediocrity,
This is not Jones offense, this is about the brilliance of Saquon Barklay. Stopping him should open things for an offense that has an empty dance card but may come to the ball late. Barclay, Thomas and Jones and backpacks.
Exciting to watch. Impossible to predict.
