Remember that time all through last year when Harbinger wanted snow fired lol

As long as offenses don't figure it out and we can keep them guessing

I remember.  I'm keeping tabs.

Chinn and Gross-Matos had Winston considering two uninspiring options: Take the sack, or throw a balloon off-base. Winston chose Option B into triple converging coverage, and that was that.

sure would be sweet to take houston to the woodshed on national tv. that'd trigger a 2015-esque breakout in terms of media coverage and hype

Man I love it but we're two games in. Can we pump the brakes a little?

Nope.  We pumped breaks for about 8 weeks in 15.  Until this team loses they are the '72 Dolphins with an '85 Bears cape.

fug the world, we're awesome.

Dont like it?  Dont care.

Beating up on Dallas the following week will bring on the coverage.

That's fair when looking at the 2021 season thus far, but the article is very detailed and talks about our defense in 2020 as well.  

The underlying message here is more about how NFL defenses (like any facet of the game) need to evolve in order to counter what the other side of the ball is doing and how Snow seems to be ahead of the curve in that regard.

Here we are doing the exact same ordinary corner blitz 3 times in a row:

Our formations can be odd, but that's not the secret sauce.  Its the epic talent on the line and man coverage on the receivers taking away the quick throws.  They have to go to total pass pro, removing at least one (TE) or two (TE and RB) pass options and they can't double team on the line leaving 1-1 match ups.  With 1 on 1s,  Brown, Daquan, and Nixon  are eventually going to get thru.  

Really the only way out of this I can see is successfully running the ball.  Titans could be a problem for us, good thing they aren't on the schedule.  Fournette will need to have a good day when we play TB if they are going to beat us.

Why can't some of you people just chill and enjoy the beauty unfolding before our very eyes? We all get it, it is a long season and we know we won't dominate every team the way we dominated the Jets and the Saints. But is has been years since we have looked this way on defense and I for one an enjoying every minute. Some of you kill joys would find something to complain about if you won the powerball jackpot. What a miserable bunch of sad sacks.

BTW the blitz we did 3 times in a row here, is the same one they used to cause our turnover.
