Quote:It irks me when fans, media, etc., try and critique what is going on. I know that they are just being passionate and truly love their team, but no one but the guys in the locker room and coaches know who really fouled up on a given play. No one knows the blocking assignments, the audibles and who may have missed it on that play, who ran the wrong route, was it the QB who threw it to where the receiver should of been or vice versa, did this DL not run a stunt that ended up creating that massive hole, who busted the coverage, who didn't get the check before the play, etc., etc., etc.

 

You don't know what you don't know. This is why I try to comment so little on why something didn't go right and point fingers at who fouled up or not.

Yep.

 

We can see the end result, but we don't necessarily know why the end result occurred.

 

A pulling lineman can run right past a LB who ends up making a tackle, and still end up grading well on the play because the LB was not his assignment, but we fans can make the mistake of thinking he missed a block.

 

We don't necessarily know why a secondary was beat deep on a TD.
