Inside Pressure


Snake

Recommended Posts

I was waching some games from last year I Recorded and saw a few things that needed to be addressed.

For one Peppers as a LB dose not work. I watched them use him in several occasions as a LB and guess what he was handled. Maybe why no one wants him IDK.

The worst thing I saw was when Kemo goes out no one else can play the B gap. Lewis was handled as was Brayton, and Gibson. Lewis had his best success in the A gap when Kemo was on the 0 tech right in the Centers face.

Also Trgo should know that Blitzing Beason to the 0 gap dose not work.......

Our Scheme seemed to put Kemo over the Center in the 0 Tech and I guess that was so Lewis could shoot and come unblocked or just have one guy to beat but IMO didnt really seems all that effective on passing downs.

With all that said I hope Meeks can come up with a scheme that can help Lewis and others get free with out crippling us when Kemo is out.

The worst thing I saw was when Kemo goes out no one else can play the 1 gap. Lewis was handled as was Brayton, and Gibson. Lewis had his best success in the 2 gap when Kemo was on the 0 gap right in the Centers face.

I think they are using Kemo to fill the role of huge DT, and trying to have a smaller (slightly) more athletic DT shoot the gap and get to the passer. I think we really need a beast presence on the inside who can push back the o-line consistently, a-la Haynesworth (not saying we should have targeted him, just a DT with his ability).

I could easily be wrong, however.

The scheme last year was designed to sping both Lewis and Peppers and bring the pressure from the right side of the line. Kemo lined up in the 0 technique shaded toward the outside shoulder of the center. He had a 2 gap assignment to defend either A gap depending on where the ball went. He was not expected to get pressure but occupy the double team. Lewis played the 3 technique in the B gap and Peppers lined up in the 5 technique in the C gap. This was designed to avoid either Peppers or Lewis getting double teamed although they could still get chipped by a TE or a back. On the other side Brayton lined up in the 4 or 5 technique (head up on the tackle or to the outside). This also meant that Brayton could face double teams as well and was not designed to have him pressure the ball either but contain.

When Kemo went out Brayton slid down to the 3 technique and Johnson came in at the five technique and both had 1 gap responsibilities as did Lewis and Peppers on the other side.

I expect that Meeks will use a 1 gap over and under scheme which is what we have done traditionally. The difference will be that the primary responsibility may be shooting the gap to pressure the passer not the read and react appraoch that Trgo used to preach.

kemo will and lewis will be the starters..but i think behind them we will have two guys similar in size and styles of play. irvin is the lewis clone and the kemo clone spot is up for grabs..lol..and one more guy.i dont see shut down DT in any of these players but we dont need that they just need to keep heat on the QB

Guys like Kemo aren't there to get pressure on the quarterback most of the time. He is like Pat Williams for Minnesota. They shut down the run and take up the doubleteams so guys like Kevin Williams and Jared Allen can turn it loose up the gaps. Kemo could use a Kevin Williams at the other tackle who had 8.5 sacks last year. Lewis is decent against the run but not quick through the gap.

we still lack talent on the interior, trgo's schemes wern't the problem

we still don't have a DT that can collapse the pocket AND stop the run. We need blue chip talent badly.

trgo's usage of the players we have was a huge problem.

Very good. I feel like a dumbass now cause I confused the Gaps with the Techs. Oh well its just hard to enplane any other way without making a 5 page post. Oh I would give you a rep but I have to spread some around.

If we do go to that I would not be using Kemo very well. I feel that we may do that though but I want to wait an see what Meeks comes up with. Could be something very different.

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
