Dragon Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Osi seems to have fallen in love with trying to swipe the ball from the QB's hands. I don't have an issue with him doing that, but I saw him out of position A LOT due to him going after the ball rather than the QB. Am I seeing things or is he really running himself out of plays?

BlueInCanada Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Really I've only seen it once during the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're seeing things... but again, cause a fumble is better than just a sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 You're seeing things... but again, cause a fumble is better than just a sack. yet still counts as a sack in the stat book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 It seems like he tries to take an outside path to the QB, but he runs too wide (going after the ball as the QB is bringing it up) and he sometimes takes himself out of position.

RandolphScott Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 yet still counts as a sack in the stat book Yep it does. And like Nas I've only seen him do it in the playoffs once and that was against the Packers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm concerned about is him taking himself out of position while going for the strip rather than going for the sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the rest of the times it's more of the tackle pushing him out that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ask if I was seeing things, but is that any better? Osi shouldn't be getting schooled by anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the case at all. I saw the NE player push him out and he reached for the ball.. nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 No one else seems to have seen it but I did too Dragon. I noticed he was always taking a wide path and while not going for the strip every time he seemed to be doing it alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed he was always taking a wide path and while not going for the strip every time he seemed to be doing it alot. He might have been taking the wide path deliberately..... think of it, most of the time he will draw the double team thus leaving the DT's one on one and a easier path to the QB.

Treehugger Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 :brooding: I know. What I'm concerned about is him taking himself out of position while going for the strip rather than going for the sack. I think with all the attention he commands now he has to get more creative in his attack. He's lining up very wide sometimes too, as Ragin pointed out it's probably part of Spags' plan.
