Prevent defense thread

playing prevent defense allowed Luck to drive 86 yards in 3:40 and 57 yards in 2:14. i get dropping the safeties back to avoid getting burnt but with Luck's inaccuracy and our inability to get a pass rush in the final 7 minutes of the game, we really should have continued playing as we had before, where we limited Luck to only 50 yards through most of the game.

Man y'all are some whiny fools.  Did everyone jus forget the bogus ass hold that prevented us from milking the clock?  We don't get the hold we run the clock out.  Also where did you see a prevent defense did we watch the same game? Jus because we are in zone coverage doesn't mean prevent.  We are a zone team, and it relies on pressure from the dline. When there is pressure the zone defense thrives when there is none, it can be picked apart.  When Sean D realized the dline was gassed he sent blitzes and they affected luck just enough.  A win is win stop fuggin whining we are 7-0 for god sake and just won against a better than their record colts team.

Shulaball when there's 2:30 left in the game. Colts have 2 time outs and the 2 minute warning.  Time to play not to lose. Run up the middle, run up the middle, throw, punt.  Ef Mike Shula's conservative ass and his "prevent loss offense".

It worked perfectly minus a phantom flag.

 

Hell, so did the defense for that matter.  It took a blatant offensive pass interference handing them a TD and a clear incomplete pass called a catch on 4th down and then upheld under review to drag that game into OT.

    • You are right. At the same time I don’t think people are watching games going come on Bryce put it on the ground or sail it OB or whatever. They just have trouble seeing him turning his 3 or four or five top games of 2025 into the weekly standard outing. Which you expect for the kind of money he will ask for (speaking for myself anyway).  
    • In terms of comparing Pickett and Young's arm talent it's basically a push at best. Pickett is sitting at 6.2 yards per pass attempt for his career while Bryce sits at 6.0 Last season Bryce was 6.3 in yards per pass attempt. Only Justin Fields Spencer Rattler (both 6.2) Kyler Murray (6.0) 41 year old Joe Flacco (6.0) 44 year old Phillip Rivers (5.9) rookie Cam Ward (5.9) and Tyrod Taylor (5.8) had less pass yards per attempt than Bryce Young in his third season as a starter. Folks going around acting as if it is beyond the pale to say Pickett might have a better arm than Young are living in an alternate reality. You can choose to not believe your own eyes after 46 games but everyone else will acknowledge reality and move forward accordingly.
    • Wayne Gretzky yesterday said he is playing as good a series as he has ever seen from a defender. I thought that was pretty high praise.
