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.

    • That's why I pointed it out because Bryce hasn't either, so it's not like that could be used an excuse for the poor winning percentage. And yes, right now, Kyler is the better QB. I would show it to you in the same "statistical" way that I did for Car123 but you have basically admitted that Kyler will obviously be statistically better(which is very true) and somehow that isn't relevant. Regardless, whether eye or statistical, you have made literally no reasonable counter argument other than "there is another guy in this forum that said he saw Arizona games and he said Kyler wasn't as good" and that "he got benched."  That's really been the bulk of your argument so far.  As for a "clutch performer", leader and whatever in the world a "smooth operator" is.....I guess that's the PFF version of your rankings. 
    • The fact you're having to rely on "rushing yards per game" (he is averaging 18, Bryce is averaging 10) here is really telling lmao. I already gave the clear advanced differences. Shough is playing worse than Bryce. You are literally gassing up a worse, 2-4 QB for a rival team and I find that incredibly funny.
    • Okay so I took a look at this across a WIDE variety of overall metrics and statistical groups that should give an idea about overall play and some potential aggravating factors associated with their play.  Overall, I would say this indicates by the categories that I have detailed out that Tua and Geno are clearly the guys that are having worse seasons than Bryce. I would add that I am still of the opinion that they are better overall QB's given both capability and past performances. I will definitely concede there is not a solid statistical argument for them having a better year than Bryce, to date.  Here is the data I gathered and I have shaded the cells according to "better than" or "worse than" Bryce. In a couple of the categories, this is an inverse because I am indicating these were less aggravating situations than Bryce has had and therefore less excusable reasoning for sucking.  Let me know if there are any questions on the data/categories/etc.
