Absolutely. Other than that, he was ok in coverage. Kept a lot of guys in front him, made some good tackles and batted a pass down that was clutch

I agree...

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.

Did you miss Shaq being forced to cover Cooks and get roasted on that deep ball? New Orleans spreads the field and forced us to play Nickel. Now against a team like the Bucs, the 4-3 is a good scheme.

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.

Shaq is amazing at stopping screens, and stopping runs. He blows donkey balls in pass coverage. IMO

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.

Since our front 4 doesn't get pressure, and since we like to/are forced to blitz, I say we go 4-4 with Shaq, TD, Luke, Cash and just go ahead and plan on blitzing at least one of them every play.

Edit: fug it. Lets just blitz the house every play.

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.

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.

[Randolph Panther]

Why not situationally switch to a 3-4 defense with 4 linebackers and blitz more from the LB position?  Maybe plug Cash or Klein at LB in there?  The three lineman could be Star, Kawan and Butler.

I love the idea of you guys suggesting cash should get more burn.

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.

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.
