Any team that runs a Zone Blitz will do that from time to time (the Steelers do it plenty).

 

Like any defensive tactic, sometimes it works.  Other times it doesn't.

 

 

Obviously I understand you sometimes get beat... What I'm questioning is why we would choose to run something like on 3rd and long in the biggest game of the season? When we've had success generating pressure with just front 4. The entire time he's been our DC we've always dropped the linebackers into a zone. Make them throw short and make the tackle.

Not saying it was the right call pn that play.

 

Just saying it's a staple of the Zone Blitz that we run.

When it doesnt its the schemes fault we have two of the best coverage linebackers in the game. And you take them out of the play blitzing a qb whose made a living out of teams blitzing him. Not good, not to mention having luke and td underneath would have took stress off of our young dbs allowing them to focus on the deep ball and not having to worry underneath. You do that to qbs that panic under pressure not those who thrive.

And what exactly are your qualifications and credentials to adequately evaluate whether a DC is "ready for a HC position"?

 

Gotta love the Huddle.

 

I'm not here to give an expert opinion. Just an opinion. Our defense was crap most of this year. We dominated bad offenses and got burnt by good offenses. Russel Wilson was 8 for 8 on third down. He threw two touchdowns against the blitz, and surprise! We blitzed on his 3rd TD. That doesn't impress me.

I've asked the same question, honestly.

 

One thing I know about McDermott from reports I've seen:  Players love playing for him, just like they do Rivera.

can't judge a coach based on that. Maybe you do, but those in the league do not, and for good reason.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
