Blitzing

As much as the checkdowns mattered, we constantly brought people. Even when we were up 35-10, we were still blitzing safeties. I think all the changes overall may have been brought on by Rivera, rather than each coordinator individually. Maybe if we consistently do these things from now on, we will win some games consistently. who cares about winning close games when you can just blow out your opponent.

Keep in mind it was a tactic utilized by the coaches for this specific game. It may not work against another opponent with quick drops and timing patterns.

It was repeated over and over how good Cassel is when he hits his 5 and 7 step drops. The blitz kept him from doing that for the most part.

i think it could work in about every game. it all depends on how infrequently we do it and how well we disguise it.

 

keep LBs and DBs on the line but keep on dropping them back in coverage most the time while most the pressure is brought from the front four and at random times blitz them from the same formations.

I can see it working as long as our DB's can hold their own AND the rush gets to the QB. If we blitz and don't get there our poor corners will be calling the coroners.

Let's see what the defense can do against an offense that gets the ball out quick and neutralizes the front four and/or blitzes. The secondary has held up as well as we could hope for so far but we've yet to face a QB like a Brees or Brady.

This is exactly what I want to see.

i don't think they'd need to hold their own too much if we don't do it too often.

 

if we are unpredictable with the blitzes like we were yesterday, 9 times out of 10 it's going to be either a sack, an INT, or some kind of blown play.

 

if we show our hand and/or can't get back to the QB in blitzes like that i think our secondary could be exploited, but done rightly (which it seems we know how to do) i think that it could work pretty consistently.

 

the main thing, tho, is just making sure that our front four can always bring pressure on the QB because that just opens things up for that quite a bit.

Why didn't we blitz against the Cards...

 

Why didn't we blitz against the Bills

 

A rookie QB

 

That made no sense and infuriated me. You look back at these losses aside from Seattle and have to ask what was the coaches doing after half-time. Absolutely no adjustments

Yeah, it seems like whatever gameplan we derive going into the game, its the same gameplan we stick with. We will never be a great team if our coaching staff aren't willing to or are unable to adjust the gameplan.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      There always has been collusion, as long as I have been a fan. It sure looks like they tweaked outcomes too. Good luck proving it. As much as I despise a lot of the ownership I'm still not sure what would happen if it was forced to change.

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.
