More Important: Remmers vs Miller or Oher vs Ware


AndrewLaskoski

Recommended Posts

I think it's about time to turn our attention to Denver.

Whilst I was talking to a buddy of mine who happens to be a salty Pittsburgh Steelers fan, we were having a little bit of a disagreement. He was saying that Von Miller is a top five defensive player in the NFL and that his matchup with Remmers would be the key matchup of the game. Of course he didn't know Remmers name but that is neither here nor there. 

I argued that the Oher vs Ware matchup is entirely more important and these are my reasons for believing so.

  1. You cannot double both edge rushers without seriously hurting the passing game.
  2. Remmers has had help before while taking on a superior edge rusher (Watt).
  3.  Oher has actually been an upper echelon LT when it comes to pass protection and has been improving during the playoffs. 

What say you? What are ideas for doing so?

The key is being able to run the ball.  If we can (and I think we can), then it slows their rush significantly.  If we can't, then you get what the Pats saw yesterday....they pin their ears back and attack like rabid dogs.

I trust oher a little more than remmers but they both have been great against 2 great defenses in seattle and arizona.

Our oline has been spectacular so far in the playoffs.  I think being at home and having no noise on offense really helps the line.

There will be help, like there has been much of the year, especially on Remmers' side. Not too worried about it. The Pats were able to move the ball against them relatively well for parts of the game and that was with their sh*t o-line. Our line is fuging dominant. Cam is better than Brady right now, and Olsen is just as oncoverable as Gronk and we have Ginn to stretch the field. Biggest thing though... We have a run game! The Patriots do not. Broncos D, in my opinion, isn't really much better than the Seahawks'.

I'm more concerned about Miller/Remmers. Miller is the best defensive player on that team and he is really going to challenge Remmers with his speed and strength. Hopefully Miller is relegated to a confused player who doesn't know who has the ball on the read option.

I say I'm definitely concerned after the beat down the Broncos have Tom Brady. I honestly think miller is the bigger concern. His speed is unreal and we need to have a plan in place

NE had ZERO run game.....everyone knew it.  The Denver pass rush did not need to be concerned....they pinned their ears back and went after Brady.  They cannot do that against us.

Bafflingly Belicheck didn't adjust and left their RT on an island against Miller all night. We need to assign Dickson to help Remmers against him. They'll go all out blitz all night and if we can slow it down we'll dominate.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Seemed like maybe a bit of arrogance from Bill.

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
