How well do our receivers block?

[TheDuke]

With JJ if you couldn't block as a RB or receiver you didn't play. Unless you are watching the receivers you can't assess their blocking. I can't recall seeing any blocks of note by a receiver.

I wouldn’t call them bad at blocking but more along the lines of inconsistent. They do however need to improve on their WR screen blocking, that play never works cause the blocking is terrible, but again on some of Coles runs I did see the WR doing a good job ofdown field blocking at TIMES

Hard to see on broadcast. I will say I was a little disappointed toward the end of last game. Like they were already on the comeback trail but it seemed whenever there was a run, the WRs would just stop and stand there. Like you never know what would happen especially with MIles Reed breaking a tackle or two, or even on the Cordeiro scramble he had. An extra block or two could spring something extra.

Based on what I know, the general rule on running plays is that they want the WRs to run their defender out of the play. But sometimes they don't fully execute it. On the WR screen or SB bubble, obviously the WRs and SBs need to block and they haven't done a great job of it.

You're right...the WRs are fans watching other WRs run once they catch the ball. The only guy I see down field is Byrd. The WR screens UH has ran are terrible bc of slow lineman not getting ahead to block or soft WR blocking.

your observations is what I suspected. Just based on size (weight mainly) I don't see them challenging bigger DBs or LBs.

Yah I think it was the first JoJo TD, I saw Byrd throwing a block down the field
