Great write-up. 2 questions and an agreement-observations.

1) Does anyone know what #10 didn't start the second half? He's our most impactful defender amongst the front 7. Is it a rotation issue? ND went 9 plays, 60 yards to score on that possession.

2) Your comment re: TEs was maddening to me during the game and since. #85 is a poor blocker. #4 is ok. I see many plays where the team needs a quality block and in comes #14 (WR) to help. If we need blocking, why didn't #34 get more action? Or a six OL formation?

3) Why did Musgrave call so many traditional drop back plays? Do you believe we don't have roll out plays?

thank you.

I was wondering the same thing about Oladejo's absence. When Antzoulatos was disqualified following the targeting call and Puskas came in for the rest of the series, I assumed that Femi was hurt, but he was in on the next possession. Brief injury that required taping up? Pre-planned rotation? I have no clue.

There have been a few designed roll outs, but they've been rare. I don't think they planned the offense around being so limited in pass protection, and haven't been able to quickly pivot in another direction to compensate.
