What Do We Call Our Base Defense From The Eagles Game?


Recommended Posts

Judging by the snap counts for our defense, it seems like it was mostly a hybrid nickel/dime D.  Although I'm not the most qualified in terminology for this.  But we had generally had 3 corners, 1 safety, and 1 corner/safety who (if my drunken memory serves) lined up some at corner and some at safety.

 

Corner's

Josh Wilson - 100% of the defensive snaps

DeAngelo Hall - 100%

David Amerson - 95%

 

Safety

Bacarri Rambo - 100% of the defensive snaps

Reed Doughty - 8%

 

Corner/Safety

EJ Biggers - 92% of the defensive snaps

 

DE/DT's

Barry Cofield - 68% of the defensive snaps

Stephen Bowen - 59%

Kedric Golston - 40%

Chris Baker - 29%

Phillip Merling - 8%

 

ILB

London Fletcher - 100% of the defensive snaps

Perry Riley - 98%

Bryan Kehl - 2%

 

OLB

Ryan Kerrigan - 98% of the defensive snaps

Brian Orakpo - 90%

Darryl Tapp - 14%

Brandon Jenkins - 1%

 

The "Swift" package we've heard so much about, looks like it was only out there for 1 snap.  I'd hazard a guess that we did a modified "Swift" package with Tapp replacing one of the big guys inside on occasion.

 

I find it interesting that Haslett says he has so much faith in our base package, yet ran something that seems to be about as far away from a traditional 3-4 as you can get.

I'm hoping it's experimentation. We got a lot of new faces in the secondary, so you'd assume there's going to be some getting used to for both the coaches and players. 

 

I just hope they get the best rotation in the secondary down and fast. That's what made us successful on D last season.

its called "no pass rush and chase the guy who doesn't have the ball...whoops...where is the ball" base defense.

until we get a defensive coordinator who really understands how to prepare his defense to blitz and cover....we won't have a defense.
