Foote, Pouncey, and LSH all need surgery

Tomlin backing up what some of us thought

"Was Maurkice Pouncey's season-ending injury his fault?
In one manner, it was. Pouncey could not get past defensive tackle Sione Fua to go block a linebacker on the zone-blocking play with Redman running to the left. As a result, when guard David DeCastro went to cut block a defensive lineman, he bowled into Pouncey's legs instead.
Tomlin explained it.
"It's just one of the unfortunate elements of football. We're working a zone-scheme block against their interior defensive lineman, and Maurkice was trying to escape and work his way to the second level. The defensive lineman did a good job of not allowing that to happen and holding Maurkice there at the line of scrimmage.
"As David worked to get his head in front of the defensive lineman and execute a legal block, he contacted Maurkice."

HACK

 

It sounds almost like a timming pattern pass play where the ball is thrown before the receiver comes out of his break. If that's how this scheme is supposed to work we are in big trouble.

 

I don't care how you slice it it was a dumb play. YOu don't see where you are blocking? Completely asinine on DeCastro part.
