Arizona’s Air-Raid Offense

If Arizona plays us like they did against Baltimore, they’re going to run us out the building.

Our run defense has been middle of the pack. And in fact, in the second half of both our games, its been pretty bad.  I wouldn't mind if they play us like they did the Ravens (4 passes for every run).

We’ll have more on this tonight. A lot to digest with their attack. A lot of 10 personnel. A lot of 5W looks. Tough to defend. Unique. 

 

Due to technical issues (son’s science project lol), the Film Room piece will be up tomorrow. Sorry for the delay guys.

Man, Kyler Murray is going to be one hell of a player once he gets a little more time under his belt.  Also, I think that Kliff is going to end up being a great, innovative HC in the NFL.  I'm low-key kinda jealous of what theyve got working there in the desert.

All this after two games? Let the NFL show you how they expose gimics like this.

Tough to defend? Just get your tallest guys in Murray's face. 30% of the time he throws it into his own lineman, 30% of the time he throws it in to your lineman, 20% of the time he throws it off target, 10% of the time he completes the pass. 

We have a monster defensive line and I'd like to have Bruce Irvin back for this game. Burns and Bruce locking down the edges without having to worry about a running game.

I know it’s not “retirement/walking boot/fashion/kaepernick” talk, but I’m impressed with the Cards protection on that first play. Dear heavens, Little Kyler has an hour back there.

 

But they are giving up more sacks than the Panthers are.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
