Fashanu at Guard

Difficulty level 1 million. Cant say I focused on him but I didn't notice him last night which is usually a good thing for an o lineman.

 

I think he had a holding penalty that negated Rodgers scramble to the three yard line.  But even there the starting guards were out so they had Mitchell left and fashanu right.  It worked out okay.  We know why avt and Newman aren’t at right why wasn’t Simpson at left?

So now does any hope of the jets winning games go down the drain because the team can’t condition its OL to stay on the field the entire season?

You're right I forgot about that. It was kind of a ticky tack call. They don't usually call it if you're inside the shoulders but I get why they did

AVT has had an injured ankle, he's been out for like a week or two already I think. He didn't go on IR so I assume he will be back.

Simpson left mid game with a groin injury. Not sure about Newman, but didn't he suffer that scary neck/head injury recently? Or was that another Jet?

I wasn't sure what happened with Simpson or if he even started. Thanks for clarifying.

Hanson was in at G before Fashanu was put there. Not sure what happened to him.

Newman was put on IR. Not sure if 4 week or season ending.

The holding was a bad call to make up for the bad PI call on 4th down prior 

 

nfl refs blow 

just on the whole drama of the play the refs shouldn't have called it.  imagine rodgers saving that drive with a ten yard scramble.  you don't see that too often.  and hold was more than a little iffy.  if they were going to call close ones like that then the texans should've been called on just about every play.

It was kinda wild. A coach, not Carter, was going over his stance and hand placement on the sidelines and he goes in the game and pulled left and got a nice block on a run by Hall and anchored down on a bull rush. 
 

I was shouting “Olu!” When he came off the field and he was beaming, big smile ear to ear 

super impressed

i hope not but at least it seems like they have some good depth.  i don't think anyone thought smith would be playing left tackle for 8 games let alone nine.  fashanu and mitchell filled in pretty well.  simpson will be back.  not sure about avt.  newman is most likely done for the season.

He had a nice stance and anchor as a guard considering he's been a LT.   Along with GW's wild catches and Breece being Breece, Fashanu's performance at guard was really neat.  

Have to say, I'm surprised they won that game considering how many bush league errors they made in the first half.

They wouldn’t have called it if Rodgers didn’t runt right past him. It wasn’t a bad call, but it was a little ticky tacky

Offensive Linemen grab the defender’s jersey on literally every single play.

Even the “immortal” Tom Brady has admitted this.

The difference is when the defender is within your frame it’s almost never called — remember Jermaine Johnson vs Chiefs last season?

It’s typically only when you’ve “lost” — the defender is outside your frame and your arms are extended — that’s it’s called.

When I saw the replay I couldn’t freaking believe it.

That was a huge play in the game and I’m sure the refs loved being at the center of it all.  Went from 1st and goal at the 1 to 3rd and 20.

It took the greatest catch in NFL history by G5 to overcome the refs disgusting bias or incompetence or whatever that was.

He did an excellent job, for a guy who had literally never taken a single snap at the position.

Even the holding call on him was very questionable - he kept his hands inside the entire play.

It was a genius holding call because on the next play Garrett made an amazing catch. The world would have never seen it without that penalty.

There is holding on literally 100% of running plays in NFL and college it’s just a matter of when refs want to call it.

 

Holding occurs conservatively on 50% of passing plays

With today’s cameras, wearable tech, and advanced data processing, we should be able to challenge ALL calls.

But, especially those that ‘do not affect the outcome of the play.’  Like we should be able to simulate if a held player could actually have made a tackle if he wasn’t  held.  Or for PI, determine if the ball is catchable or not based on ball trajectory and a player’s Madden rating.

Thank you for posting. 

Really solid performance from Olu moving to G. 

Looks like he still needs to get stronger. Especially playing Guard and going up against interior D-linemen he had trouble at times with their power. However, he's got really quick feet for a Guard. On plays with movement, stretch run plays, he is always getting to his spot ahead of the defender, putting himself in good position. Not a lot of 'Guards' can do that. 

Looks like he gave up one pressure where he completely whiffed on a block. And that penalty looked like b.s. to me.
