From Reactive to Proactive


PantherPhann89

Recommended Posts

How do we go from being a reactive defense to being a proactive defensive team? I know that right now, we're playing without our starting MLB and LT. We're also playing two rookies at CB. Our pass is good and most of our blitzes are telegraphed. So I'm more or less speaking from the LB and secondary positions. Both positions, aside from Luke and TD, react after the catch has been made. Our CB's gives a 10-15 yard cushion even when the offense needs 3 yards. Rookies, yes I know but that's what the Safeties are for.  Is it coaching, talent or experience? How do we become an aggressively proactive defensive?

If you think we've only been giving cushion on coverage this year, since we've been playing rookies at CB, I have a fantastic bridge (and oldie but a goodie) available for sale to you.

We didn't with Norman and Tillman last year.

I'd say that starts from the top.

 It's a coaching philosophy. To change it you got to cut the head off the snake 

I didn't say that were only giving 10 yards of cushion this year. I only referenced What we're doing this year...well because, that's what we're doing this year. But either way, the question is the same.

I agree but my question about that is Whois the snake. We've changed the HC and GM. So is it Mr Richardson or someone I don't know about?

Rivera is a Fox clone.

They one in the same. We thought we were getting a hard azz all guts no glory type with RR. But he turned out to be gutless when it matters most

Zone blitz more disguise man coverage stop allowing LBs to be stuck on the slot receiver put Boston back to ss and Coleman to fs Boston is the better blitzer and Coleman is better in coverage from the fs make Worley press more kick ealy inside on occasions like we did hardy roll ealy out in coverage and blitz Shaq blitz Thomas and Luke out of the nickel more cb blitz more like we used to with Norman and munnerlyn and last but not least just disguise coverage better honestly I can see what's going on half the time and what receivers gonna be open I think the opposing oc can too keep the same basic principles but Jesus H Christ disguise them like a professional should

    • The reset worked with proton.me.. wouldn’t work with my Gmail, Yahoo or Verizon email accounts 
    • Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.
    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
