The sacks - a little help please!.

[Patler]

OK, I managed to miss every one of the sacks against Favre, even though I saw 90% of the game.
Can someone describe the plays, what happened on the sacks, who seemed to get beat?

From what I did see, the line played better than Favre did. His missed badly even when receivers were open the second half, even when he had time to throw.

Green got 110 for a 5.5 average without breaking a long one . That's what they want from the running game.

Best I can tell, Tauscher and Clifton simply did not have good games.

[Brohm]

One of them was when Clifton helped double team the tackle with Spitz, leaving the DE an open lane to the QB.

cliffy was at fault on two, I don't remember the other

the first sack wasn't really a sack. it was 4th and inches and brett went for a sneak and fell face first short of where he was

i have a mental block of the other two. i think one came from the left middle where all the linemen ran to their ZBS spots and no one blocked the big lineman that was standing there

Indeed, Taucher even had a holding penalty. If I recall right wouldn't that be the first "real" holding call he has ever had? Or am I way off base there?

i think the other one was the 4th and inches that came up short. thats the only thing i can remember that would be a 3rd sack

If that's the case, it sounds liek someone missed a stunt. Was he outside or inside?

[Brohm]

Ahh also another was when Spitz stepped on Farves foot...so really one true sack today.

No, he had one last year.

I believe the back was supposed to pick up the DE, but didn't get there.

[Brohm]

Looked like a non-block. Clifton went right to help Spitz and then had an "Oh Shit" moment and tried to come back to at least chip the DE.

A QB sneak wouldn't go down in the stats as a passing play with a sack. It would be a rushing play.

That play and the 3rd down one had bad spots. If you watched the replay, he had it.
