Bobby Massie - can he get better?

No Jay hate on that thought lol....just don't think it is smart football to drop back that far when you have a DE lined up on the outside of your TE who is releasing to route after block.

Maybe they are taught to block this way on that play...but Massie doesn't have a chance unless the TE steers the DE back to the inside for Massie.

All I know is that Jay walked into a couple of sacks and this was one of them Imo....

Overall it was a poorly played second half including the play calling as well IMHO.  The Bears failure to run the ball effectively was the root cause of most of the pressure so I'll accept the fact that put the entire line in a bad spot.  Massie may have struggled more than others but no one got an A grade in that game.

Biggsy and a few others have presented some analysis of the play calling and I can see little or nothing that was done to counter the stunts or full tilt rush from the edge.  No draws or delays, one screen pass, no quick slants from a 3 step drop with Jay under center.  Just a whole lot of shotgun formations Houston knew we wouldn't run from.

Anytime you're that predictable you may we well hand the other guys your play list or just invite them into the huddle.  They knew what we were gonna do anyway.  That was pretty obvious.  If we regroup and do better on Monday night all's forgiven and if not then next weeks threads and posts will look a lot like this weeks.

Losing is not half as bad as not trying hard enough to win.

I don't know how much better he will get.  IMO he will get better integrated with the rest of the line and hopefully the OL schemes will work out better to account for his limitations.
