Josh Norman tips off our coverages presnap


CRA

Recommended Posts

It appears nearly 100% of time Norman shows presnap if we are in man vs zone.  If it a real or disguised look.

Wow.  Peyton may suck but you can't make the game that easy when no look can be disguised.  His brother if I recall got him good too...so you know Peyton this one way or another

If Pete Prisco figures it out...you would like to think our coaches would have.

Having a tell ultimately did NE in. That is worrisome

A defensive tell isn't even close to the same advantage as a center basically telling you when he is snapping the ball to his QB. 18 games into the season and I don't think it has been a problem so far this year, I can't imagine other coaches and QB's didn't notice it, knowing we're in press man doesn't automatically mean open receivers, they still have to beat the press coverage and catch the ball.

Like someone else said, it is very easy to tell if a D is in man or zone...just put a WR in motion. If the CB checking big him follows - Man, if he stays put - zone. Not exactly earthshattering info there...

It's the NFL...the have a man take an obvious 5 steps in motion can be disguised as well.  Coaches wouldn't bother working on elaborate disguises if the simplistic motion man always tipped it off IMO.  Probably does some but not always.

It is if your name is Pete Prisco.

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
