Quote:I dont see how. I'm not debating that Harbor missed his assignment but yeah Joeckel has to recognize that and at least attempt to put a body on him. Free rushers like that can kill a season. Its the same thing as holding when you get totally beat.

 

Maybe its not the worst thing in the world but you look in the thread and you see people calling his play great. This is not great.

Not once in this thread did anybody use the word great to describe Joeckel's play so far.


As for that play I get what you're saying maybe Luke has to recognize that Harbor blew his assignment and adjust. The DE goes underneath Luke on a toss play though. If I'm Luke and I'm pulling, if that DE crosses my face for whatever reason I block him. If he goes underneath me and I'm able to keep moving up the second level, I would never guess that DE is making the play on a toss outside.


Assigning blame to Joeckel on that play is not fair IMO. Could he had made a spectacular play and covered Harbor's mistake? Yeah probably, but its clear that Harbor was at fault.
