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.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
