What really made that play work was Andre Smith

shoving his DE back. What almost made it not work was the weakass block Grisham “attempted” on the LB.

I know he made an awful holding call in the game

but he has looked surprisingly decent since he started getting the playing time.

yea, but the future is starting to look bright for him

You can’t teach what he did on that play where he manhandled a 3-4 DE.

i love how A.Smith got yanked (sarcasm)

and then Shrek came in (Roland) and got beat in 2 straight plays (almost ended the game single handedly). Absolutely horrible benching him on that drive

I noticed that too. And it seemed liek Andre knew it was coming

because he immidiately started walking towards the sidelines. There must have been a pregame decision to bench him if he made a penalty. But they brought him back though.

On the Lurch play though, I thought that was Brian Leanoard’s (or whoever was in teh backfield) fault. Roland called out before the play started that he had two guys. If he took the guy on the outside, the inside guy would have had the sack instead because Leanard went the opposite direction instead of picking him up.

It's really not that uncommon...

Players get benched temporarily fallowing penalties all the time, especially linemen, because a holding call is a great indicator that they’re tired and need a breather.

It's time to sink or Zim.
