wit33 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 The defense appeared a bit more connected against the Falcons and a number of plays were available to be made— the defender coming within a finger or hand of knocking the ball down. Missing the deflections at the line of scrimmage this year, seemed you could count on 1 or two of those a game last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is their best Man corner (WJ III) is logging too many DPIs. Needs to get his head around quicker. I liked seeing McTyer more. He's good in man coverage. Same issue though. If he gets his head around on one of those balls he has an easy pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbunny Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 McTyer had a few smart plays yesterday. Honestly, I'm all for starting him over Fuller right now. Fuller is just terrible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaches are ultimately responsible for the product on the field. Have the guts to make the tough calls. That's why they're millionaires. I always felt like my job as a coach was to put my best 11 on the field (of course you can substitute based on the situation) but generally get your best 11 on the field. Scheme them up to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. Have to instill confidence in what you're doing as well. If you don't believe in it and are constantly changing then the players won't believe in what you're doing either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 A great, completely under the radar, move by Del Rio was to give up so many scores that the punter injures himself on kickoffs. Five dimensional chess, my friends. 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCB Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Don't disagree with much that's been said (although observing how terrible Collins is can't be said enough), but it's encouraging that Jamin seems to be slowly putting the pieces together. Noticed him diagnosing and reacting much quicker and smarter than the first two weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klwilkins1977 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It also seems as if the line calls do not match the LB call do not match the Secondary calls. That is, they seem to be independent not interdependent of each other. Too much space and conflicting keys (if the LB notices then he should ____ and the Safety should then____). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed him diagnosing and reacting much quicker and smarter than the first two weeks. He was second leading tackler and tied with McCain for solo tackles (5). Thought he had a good day yesterday overall. This is just based off of plays made and stats. Maybe more will come out to support he was terrible.

What bothers me about that is it's not something thats happening after 4-5 seconds after the ball is snapped, it's almost immediate. As if receivers know exactly where to go pre-snap where a defender isn't close. None of the three areas seem to have any synchronicity at this point. Maybe Darby was the glue?

It was that the whole defense was good in zone. We did a ton of Cover 4. We weren't great in zone though, just good. And the better offenses could pick us apart with ease. Tom Brady in the playoffs as an example. So the team decided it needed to run Man if the situation called for it and so they got Jamin Davis, WJ3, and Juice. But the problem here is that Fuller can't do man well. Collins can't do either well (and the D got better after he got hurt last season). So last season in the stopgap year where we signed a bunch of veterans for cheap, we were OK in one coverage. But it was flawed. So they've started a coverage rebuild this season. Problem is we still have a net minus in Collins and Bostic, and not everybody looks capable in the new scheme (Fuller). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I’d rather go man because were way too soft in zone and offenses have figured out how to neutralize the front 4. I don’t think there’s enough cohesion among the corners considering there’s only one returning from last year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 We at least had an identity on D last year. Rush four and flood the secondary with seven in zone coverage. It got shredded by good teams, but at least against the crap tier offenses we could feast. But now even the bottom of the barrel offenses light us up. I'd like to play more tight press man but it seems like we're incapable of that and just end up committing PI anyway. Del Rio has his work cut out for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or figure out how to use Fuller in other areas. I do think Fuller would work well bracketing someone as the deeper guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, yes. I’ll add that there’s been some major errors borne of confusion on the back end as well, which fits in with shifting back and forth between man and zone. Wow, that sucks about McTyre.

WilberMarshall Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I keep hearing how the QB is getting the ball off before the rush can get there... yet I don't see our linemen putting their hands up, blocking the passing lanes and disrupting the passing attack. I can understand QBs who can throw from tough throwing angles but it seems on money downs (3rd downs), they know exactly where to go with the ball pre-snap. By-the-way, I don't think any of the units DL, LB and DBs is playing up to C grade. Highest grade is C- to the DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownRocks111 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Curious how our LB play will improve with Bostic out and Jamin logging more snaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
