Again, my issue here is more with Holmgren being spread to thin to focus on these guys.    They need it.  Somebody should have been assigned to key on Orchard.

Well, I don't think Mike Holmgren is spread too thin these days, but at 66 and retired he might not have all that much energy for the task.


[And you don't really assign a guy to a pass rusher. Orchard moves around and comes from different sides and different places - you don't move the Oline around. If things are running well, accounting for everyone should happen automatically with the protection calls. If one guy is really good then you pay particular attention to him in making those calls. Still, they only blatantly missed Orchard once (a very important once), once guys seemed to be playing different protections (which should never happen, but an independent problem from keeping track of Orchard), and twice he beat the guy blocking him. ]
