Lucas couldn't hold up against Max Crosby and that was the difference in two of the most key plays of the game. Should Waldron have recognized that, and tried to give Lucas some help with a TE or RB chip? I honestly don't know, looking for what others think, because adjusting a play to do that could have other negative effects, and leave a given play "understaffed" elsewhere. Is that just too much MMQB or was there something Waldron (or Geno) could or should have done to recognize the mismatch and adjust?
In the grand scheme of things, it's probably part of Waldron and Lucas' and Geno's education. What will Waldron and Lucas and Geno and the Hawks O-Line coach be talking about adjusting when they watch film on those couple key plays where Crosby overpowered Lucas?
* We had a poll earlier on best O-Lineman this season, and I think Lucas was the overall "winner" of the poll, IIRC. Some correctly pointed out that Cross draws the tougher assignments week in and week out. If I understand correctly, Crosby usually plays DE on the left side, thus would be going up against Lucas, so the Hawks knew this matchup was coming.
