In the first quarter we had them all confused. It seemed we kinda let off a little as the game progressed. I love seeing R Marshall getting sacks. We showed a lot of different looks for teams to have to prepare for now. I thought last game we had more defensive formations than all season, especially in the nickel formations.

we need our starting DT's healthy so they can help open up wholes in the middle for blitzing..it was too easy for Brees to just step up a bit for those outside blitzes..the only way those might work consistently imo is if you always blitz on the side that peppers is on since that side will be focused on him and not a blitz..

They didn't let off, but the blitzes stopped getting to the QB. It seems the later in the game, the less effective the Panthers blitzes are.

There could be a correlation there. While lacking depth at DT, as the game went on they weren't as effective. Brees stepped up quite a few times on four man rushes when the outside rush was effective but inside wasn't penetrating.

Anderson is fast and has good coverage skills. I always thought he was about equal to Diggs, but with very different strengths. Diggs is very good against the run and average in coverage, Anderson is very good in coverage but average against the run. If for some horrible reason we can't resign Davis, I could see Anderson moving to the weak side then.

Actually, that is quite an overstatement. Anderson is OK against the pass and terrible against the run.

I think the biggest reason that he is on the team still is because the FO drafted him. He has shown nothing as a starter.

Connor is the guy that will take Diggs spot.

Our blitzes weren't very effective when Kemo and Lewis were in there. We are just not a very good blitzing team. I think our linebackers have all of 5 sacks this year (Davis has 4).

Man we RARELY blitzed when they was in there

We didnt blitz against Warner that much, just let him throw. We didn't blitz against Rodgers, just let him throw. Culpepper, Ryan.. all of them, we rarely blitzed

Sunday was the most we ever blitzed this season

Anderson usually gets playing time against Pass Happy teams. At VT he played Whip Linebacker, basically a hybrid between a DB and LB. His coverage skills should be above average for a Linebacker, and coming from the Bud Foster defense, he is a very effective edge blitzer. If we played in a 3-4 he would be perfect for the pass rushing LB. All in all, he's a decent player, but to play in our scheme he'll have to bulk up a little more, but that might compromise his speed.

    • i presented this in another thread. he throws better to the out breaking routes the wr run, but almost nothing to the inside. that is half the options on a wr route tree. How do you run an offense like that?  even the outbreaking routes he throws are moonballs, that allow the DBs to catch up unless the wr is wide open. he has to throw with a lot of anticipation becuase he doesnt have the arm strenght to get it there if he is a little late. thats probably why you see balls behind the wrs.
