5 yds or more... I saw several examples today where he could have either filled a hole with authority, or at least stepped up, taken on the lead blocker, and closed down the angle. Instead, he consistently sat where he was and waited passively to absorb the oncoming lead blocker and runner. Result?? Consistent 7-8 yd gains.

Ryan was just as bad.

Whenever I take the time to break individual plays down, it's almost always the same sad result.

To be fair to them though... a lot of their hesitation, timidity, and lack of playmaking is likely the fault of Capers.
