The Panthers against the Blitz - did Titans show teams how to attack us?

[CarolinaSamurai]

I wish some of you had seen Panthers Breakdown by Jordon gross on TWCsports. He explained and showed two of the blitzes and talked about what really happened. I take the word of a pro bowl tackle over any guy here. 

The other blitz that was between Kalil and amini. They did a twist and moved the DE around to that gap. But the NT held Kalils arm when he went out to pick the DE up.

On one of the other sack plays, the one that many on here blamed on Tolbert in the game day thread. Remmers had inside protection because of the TE lined up next to him and let's the delayed blitzer right by him and once again doesn't block anyone. 

It was Tolbert fault per Jordon Gross. He missed his assignment and by the time he realized it was too late. Cam changed protections and Tolbert was the one who messed up the change. Which tolbert messed up for two of the 5. 1 was holding. The other two was good play calling.

this will become a factor against Arizona if it persist. They do the same thing against us and it works.

On the one hand, I have Dick LeBeau and Ray Horton running the Titan's defense, while on the other, there's the immortal Joe Barry in Washington.  The Titans also have a little more talent on the defensive side in general.

I'm not worried about the Redskins blitzing at all.  Most of the time you beat the blitz with a quick throw.  We have a QB who can beat it with his legs as well.

i said it in another thread, it reminded me too much of the Arizona game back in 13. They line up 7 or 8 guys at the LOS and bring 6 or 7 and the safety in the box would usually play the robber while the overloaded the middle using stunts. It took us a few series to deal with it but it has been a problem in the past. Not having Norwell didn't help but that's on Cam, Ryan and of course Shula. At least this year, we actually were able to do something about it.

Opposing team fans have already figured out the formula to beating us, double Olsen, keep Cam in the pocket and put 9 in the box since we have no WR's. Somehow our below average team has managed to go undefeated and outsmart the football gurus that post here.

dog yo, the defense carries this team!!!! Cam is just a RB and a terrible passer

We watched the film too. 

We saw our shortcomings because we know that the other teams will be watching this film.  Our gameplan vs. tenn is going to be different than washington or dallas.

Everythiing in the NFL is fluid.  THinking you can detect a problem and it will be there in a week is actually stupid.  I get the point, but there are way too many variables.  What was exposed was due to a gambling defense--not identifying something we can't overcome.

For example, opponents discovered that Weinke could not throw to his left--across his body--with nearly as much accuracy.  So, they forced him to--by placing their shutdown corners on the defensive left (offensive right) etc.  They exposed a weakness we could not overcome by formation, awareness, etc. Within a year, Weinke was pretty much done.  This is nothing like that.

Titans have a decent defense and they are being coached by Dick LeBeau.  HOFer

In the long run, it could be a good thing. We got to see it so now we can prepare for it. Hopefully, just another box checked off.

I could be way off on this, but it's seemed like every team has tried a high percentage of blitzes, more so than I've noticed in years past. The Titans We're the most agressive with it, but every team has put a lot of emphasis on getting into the Panthers' backfield (for obvious reasons)

[ThPantherFan]

Yes, they showed everyone how to rattle the cage.  Ron will have that corrected before Sunday.

[Marguide]

And that's what I love. After 9 games, there isn't much we haven't seen, and yet we have prevailed. 

It's going to come down to talent. Unless we have a bad week and turn the ball over repeatedly, our big tests are going to come in the playoffs, against teams like Arizona that can match us in talent.

First sack was a blitz from the slot by a safety (33), Oher recognized the blitz just before the snap and signaled Stewart to help but the wide angle the DT took (running along side the blitzing safety) bunched up Oher/Silatolu and cut Stew off and the Safety got around Oher on the backside, Silatolu broke off to help elsewhere leaving Stewart to block a DL but Stew was already beat. DL forced Cam out of the pocket and the safety cleaned up from behind. Silatolu has always struggled with picking up stunts and this play basically turned into a stunt when Stewart came over to help with the blitzing safety and 3 blockers got jammed up. This was well designed overload blitz that took advantage of our replacement LG who has a lot of bad tape in these situations. He shouldn't leave his HB to take on a DT while he looks for other work (which he never finds).

Titans were also holding Kalil and no defensive holding was called...I'm sure they sent that to the league for review...poo I'd even send a "we know what's up" letter to the Redskins saying that we already notified the league about it and to go ahead and try it so we can get free calls during the game(even if it wasn't true).

This ^^^  If the refs call the game like the refs in the Titans game, the blitz will work more often than it should.
