2nd GS drive.

Punt hits Pena in the chest at the 24 yard line which he muffs and recovers at the 15 yard line.  So another terrible place for GS to start his drive.  Tucker run for 1, GS run for 1.  (my dvr cuts out I don't actually see these plays.)

3rd and 8.  
4 WR set.  Shrader starts scrambling at 4 seconds.  Not one WR is even at the sticks yet.  Courtney curls 5 yards short of the mark.  WR #2 Taj is being bear hugged and held a couple of yards short of the sticks.  Outside WRs are not at the sticks yet and being blanketed by man coverage.  Shrader bails to his right, Courtney breaks back toward the sideline GS hits him for a 3 yard gain.  Punt.

The holding is blatant and obvious, it should be called but it's not.  In the first freeze frame it appears GS wants Taj and you can see the initial bear hug.  You absolutely have to watch this live it's astonishing it's not called.  The 2nd freeze frame is to illustrate how long the holding lasts.  Entire duration of the play.

Our line however is definitely not holding up long enough for guys to run their routes.  4 man rush again with the same DE stunts.  Veterello again doesn't block a stunting DEnd looping inside which blows up the play.  Both DEnds actually run free up the middle.  Vet can block either guy and blocks no one.  Tucker MIA on helping as he stays over the Tackle and blocks no one either.

*Going forward this is clearly the book on how to beat us.  Rush 4 and stunt the DEnds inside over the center.

These problems aside I seriously question our route tree to begin with.
