Who's to blame for the blocked field goal?

Quote:Parnell missed his block, just went down for no reason and let the guy run right by him to get the block.

Parnell did miss a block. However #69 got pushed back big time.

Quote:#69 was the guy on our team that got pushed back! Do you seriously not read the comments thoroughly?
 

The guy who knocked the ball down was #96, which is 69 read backwards..How do you not get that?

 

Quote:Longer kicks require a lower launch trajectory. It's science.
 

That has nothing to do with the sack. The previous play could have been anything and it would still be a long field goal attempt.

I'm sorry you have to be some sort of stupid to not be able to read what is typed.

MJF,

-Bortles takes a sack on the previous play.

-The FG attempt is now longer than it would've been if thwre was no sack.

-The kick is now a little lower to make up for the extra distance added caused by the sack.


That's how it works.


To be fair though, it may have been blocked anyway if the line protection failed as badly as what we saw.

My thing is, wasn't blocked kicks an issue last year?

Seems like a lot of things that were issues last year are still an issue this year. Like a trending thing... but some say the coach needs more time..

I don't need perfect reading comprehension to understand "69 was pushed back." I was just making a funny comment about the jersey numbers.

In 2014 they were. Last year it was just Myers flat out missing them.

we would have been better off punting inside their five.


Go Jags!
*To stay up for atleast 2 years 3/6/17
2016 draft players I think will be good
  • On the Fournette train, will be best back of his class 3/6/17
  • Lattimore please,  Lockdowns on both sides would be nice
  • Engram at TE and the MJD clone Samaje Perine

One would think these issues wouldn't crop back up. Outside of Gus, our special teams coach is, well, special.

If the previous play was a touch down pass then it wouldn't have neen so long.


If the previous play was a throw away it wouldn't have been so long.


If the previous play was a handoff to a RB...

The Ravens were to blame. They blocked one the week before and lead the league in blocked kicks over the last like 5 years. They even pointed that out in the game.

My comment had a secret meaning along the lines of "what? did you expect improvement?"

You don't get it. Whether it was a sack, run for loss, failed screen, etc. resulting in the yardage loss does not make a difference to the kicker and offensive line on fourth down assuming it still would have been 52 yards.
