What an amazing thing to watch.  Four monsters crushing the pocket consistently.

 

How do you scout them?  How do you plan for them?

 

You can't really double more than one unless you keep a tight end in and maybe a RB.  That still leaves someone one on one.  And even doubling them isn't going to stop them all the time.  

 

Keep the pressure and that defensive backfield is going to look All-Pro no matter who is back there.

 

If you were a Offensive coordinator how would you handle this group?

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW what a fun thing to discuss since our D-Line has been so abysmal over the last couple of years.

I would say, "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate".

 

 

Google it you MF'ers.

Settle down now guys. 6 of those 7 sacks were in the first half. Just like Atlanta last year. Sure they kept an extra TE in to block, along with the RB. But we have to maintain that pressure all game.

That said. Eli didn't try to force the ball down field much in the second half either. Quicker throws are going to be the norm. But if we can continue to slow down the running game, and force teams to max protect. We will be in a good position to dictate terms. And that is all you can ask for.

Yup, teams are going to be worried about pressure. And I can live with that.

Standard response to a high pressure DL is quick throws off of short drops (3 steps, generally), essentially the WCO approach.

 

You have to have a QB that can execute it, of course (receivers too).

Yes, WCO offense will negate some pressure.  The inside pressure should also help those inaccurate throws too which should lead to more "tips drill" interceptions.

One of Bill Walsh's original uses for the WCO was as a counter to Buddy Ryan's 46 defense.  Done well with the right players, it can be an effective attack.

 

Wrong players and/or poor execution, it becomes what Phil Simms once described as a a "horizontal offense".

 

 

 

I'm just happy we're finally able to drop 7.

 

That's a pretty big deal.

      I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.

      Film on Panthers defensive failure. Same scheme issue over and over

      Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
