On one occasion, Turbin either doesn't follow Coleman or Coleman goes the wrong way. Wherever the blame lies, if Turbs follows Coleman it is a good play. No matter what, Turbin was an easy tackle.
CM danced too damn much. He will have to learn to make that cut and go. And he doesn't have enough want to for pass blocking. I would suspect a real game plan would have him pass catching in space a lot more.
Ware whiffed on pass blocks, looked slow, and didn't break tackles either. His screen pass was one butt ugly play.
Coleman can get to his block, but looks weak when he does. Other than the near TD run, there were not many plays where the RB followed Coleman.
Small is far and away the best true fullback. They had him run sideline flare patterns about 5 times in the game, he looks out of place in space. The pass he dropped would have been a one yard loss, TJ should have gone elsewhere or thrown it away. It is kind of funny to watch how Denver players approach Small. They were a bit tentative, like he was going to blow up their legs. He went for a cut block, and missed, but the guy was more concerned with not getting his knees destroyed than being a part of the play.
Not only did the blocking suck, I got the distinct impression they were calling the simplest zone block runs just to see if these guys would execute. The RB sideline patterns within a couple yards of the LOS to the sideline were really odd, there was no other routes working off those routes most times and they were covered every. single. time. Why continually take a pass blocker out of the backfield for a fairly difficult pass to a slow player? Anyway, pre-season, limited playbook, and all that crap.
