NattyLight Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It's been widely discussed on Redskins Radio that we did not implement blitz packages against Detroit. It worked. Last week the Redskins stopped a red hot Lions offense...using four man fronts and great secondary play. Hell, our ol' boy Andre Carter even got us a safety (and me 12.5 FFP). In the second half of last week's Bears / Pack game, the Bears put continuous pressure on Favre via the blitz forcing their high-ocatane Offe nse into paralysis...and ultimately, the win. However, it was not blitzing on the part of the Bears that led to good secondary positions to make crushing hits, resulting in 2 turnovers in the first half that kept the Bears within arms reach. So, how do you think G. Williams prepares to crush the NFL all time leading TD passer, and his number 1 ranked passing offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Well it depends. Our scheme worked against the Lions because Martz expected GW to blitz like crazy. Now, since Green Bay is very similar to Detroit, McCarthy and company will be expecting us to use the same scheme. We need to catch them off guard and blitz like crazy. Sounds logical, right? Whatever, I voted for blitzing seldom since it worked so well last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigLebanese Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 We will be forced to mix it up. It might be an even bigger chess match for GW, because he won't have the guarantee of GB passing it on almost every down like Detroit did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It depends. We didn't have to last week because Detroit's line is terrible. This week, we probably will have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooley4President Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think we limit the blitzes and frustrate them with coverage. Favre doesn't have a history of being the most patient QB, and if we blanket the receivers all day he'll start throwing into the coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stophovr6 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I see situational blitzing. But not all out like 2004-05. Then again, GB doesn't have much of a running game and Brett leg's aren't going to get the first downs. So maybe playing like we did against the Lions did would be a good thing. But Gregg is too smart to let a team gameplan against his previous weeks defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanboyOf91 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Favre can be deadly against the blitz I think being patient with Favre is best; he has a history of forcing throws when he is behind in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 yeah, mix it up. Favre can move around and has a better arm. We need to put a bit more pressure on. With their centre out, go right up the gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touchdown Redskins Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Our best defense is a good offense. Long drives will frustrate Favre and get their whole offense out of rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abu69 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 gotta mix it up. only reason "not blitzing" worked against the Lions is because Martz is a stubborn, arrogant moron who assumes everyone wants to blitz his D and is too dumb to change his gameplan. Can't assume GB coaches will be that stupid this week. Gotta catch 'em off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tone_dubbz Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I chose blitz seldom. I think we should use some of the same strategy by letting our safeties play the pass in cover 2, and eliminate the long balls or slants. Let the line get the pressure on Favre and let the LBs lay back in zone coverage and contain the run [or lack there of]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEavyJumbo85 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 you gotta blitz some against these guys. They have a pretty good offensive line that our front four won't be able to manhandle. And even if we don't blitz we're gonna have to put an extra man in the box from time to time because Green Bay actually tries to run the ball a little bit. The packers run a lot of screens and draws to slow down the pass rush, unlike detroit who sent 5 guys deep every play. It's gonna be a challenge for our defense and we're gonna have to mix it up a little against those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky McSlackAss Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Blitz when you have to, but we will be dropping 7 back into coverage alot in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwoodaudio Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Probably another game where we stay off the blitz thing for the most part. Seems like Favre will get ballsy and attempt some throughs into coverage if he feels he needs too. We have to honor the run because they have been working on their run game implementation all year and one of these days they are gonna get that working better. The occasional blitz up the middle with DE stunts can force Brett to scramble, which is where he makes throws of desperation. Can't wait to see thise game. Should be a battle of the coaches as well as the players. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 If we can get the same kind of press with our front 4 like we did last week then obviously there is no need to blitz. But one here and there would be nice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recent Vintage Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It's really simple guys. If you can get pressure/sacks with just the front four, there's absolutely no reason to blitz. Otherwise, do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 we dont need to blitz a ton, but we need to do the right blitzes. we just need to keep GB on their toes so they dont know whats coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think we'll blitz a fair amount. This isn't Detroit, their line is much better. Also, we won't be able to come out on first down with a complete pass rush line of Carter, Daniels, Griffin and M Dub the way we did against Detroit because McCarthy isn't bat **** insane like Martz and will attempt to run the ball and protect his QB (sometimes I think Martz likes watching his QB get hit). I think this week if we sit back like that ALL game, Favre will eventually pick us apart. I think we'll need to bring some pressure packages to try and force mistakes.

Warpath11 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Im for mixing it up and primrily bringing the heat on 2nd/3rd and long distance. This will force favre to get rid of the ball quick (if we get to him) short of the first down, we can get sacks and/or he will force to ball and we can get some turnovers.

SkinsWizCubsDukes Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It all depends on the flow of the game. How good is Green Bays o-line? Favre seems to be able to pick apart defenses with time to work in the pocket and when he executes designed plays. However, Favre is going to try and force the ball out when he has pressure. Hopefully we can pressure with the front 4. I liked last week how we had MW at DE. I would like to see the same look this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisha Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Farve gets rid of the ball really quick and they run a lot of slants. Therefore, I don't see the point of blitzing when the ball will be out before we even get close to him. We have to be careful not to let a 5 yard slant turn into a long TD when we blitz, if we choose to blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinSince87 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 if we start off and the front get pressure constantly then we wont blitz but if they cant generate a rush i see heavy blitzing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
