In zone defense Sanchez is responsible for an area right? So he is responsible for whoever is running a route in it. Hes not put on any particular player ir it would be man, no?

I don't remember exactly how the Saints lined up but yeah, if they lined up the TE all the way out and we were in a zone then it is Sanchez's responsibility to take him unless Luke made a check to send a LB or S out there and move Sanchez inside. They could have motioned him out too but usually a LB will follow if that happens.

Yeah the famed Buffalo Nickel which was suppose to be the next great defense ala Rob Ryan's 13 safety packages got shredded yesterday. The long Brandin Cooks play that cost us the game ultimately happened because Shaq got sucked into Brees.

 

If only we had the means to put CBs on the field.

We spent 11 million less on our secondary than the avg NFL team... you get what you pay for.

How come we are not playing more base 4-3 defense where the strength of the defense is the LB corp.  I member during off-season Shaq having a nice camp breaking pass plays , creating turnovers, I would rather have Shaq in coverage than the rookie CBs

Honestly I think it has to do more with TD than Shaq. I don't know if it's just injuries or if age is catching up to him but TD doesn't look like TD out there anymore on a play to play basis. It really sucks too because outside Olsen he is my favorite player on the team.

We will be ass until we get a competent secondary. We could have Von Miller, Aaron Donald, KK and Kahlil Mack and we'd still be awful with this secondary.

I disagree but don't get me wrong, our secondary is weak, very weak. But if we had a consistent pass rush, they would better. Even with the slight pass rush we're getting from our DE's, our DT's need to crash the middle consistently...

People already forget the no names we had back there when Hardy and Johnson were terrorizing quarterbacks.

I don't see any NFL or college LBs covering Cooks and winning. I don't see any of you keeping up w Cooks past 2 yards.

Its a match up and the coaches have to adjust to what they are targeting. They know Shaq will line up w the slot, well counter move and throw Cooks right there.

Not 1-1 but what you do is press him and beat him up at line of scrimmage with Shaq then let the saftey take over if goes top and let Shaq drop back in for underneath coverage.

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
