Attacking Defenses are starting to return!

[Runwildboys]

So Jerry is behind the curve yet again...

No he's not. Dak sees those defenses all the time!

Dan Quinn in Dallas was all about pass rush.
- In the playoffs they could not stop the run.

In Washington, Quinn has a DC that tried to implement better run defense...I don't know how well that worked.

I think Parker wanted 3-4 OLBs that could be good in coverage as well as their normal edge duties.
- That would allow for better zone-blitz type approach.
- They've been doing it more in recent games.
- I think it has helped.

Parker also liked the concept of Barham at MLB because he could be a better than average blitzer.

We are starting to see Pettite's influence with CP. As I mentioned in another response, that Downs sack what that type of look. Making the QB guess who is coming who is dropping and what coverage is behind it, gives the rushers that extra second to hit home.

 

[Cowboyny]

It is giving Dak fits.

He isn't the only QB who has struggled against it.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

It is giving Dak fits.

And Schotty as well. His only answer to it is to throw those telegraphed two yard bubble screens to Lamb.

I don't usually watch other teams play, but I have to applaud Washington on its approach to pass rush last night. It got them burned on the TE touchdown, but it caused an interception on New York's final possession. Instead of sitting back and playing prevent while leading with time winding down, Washington all-out blitzed, sending seven or eight players. The Giants tried to counter by throwing deep to their best receiver, but Washington had him doubled and the pressure kept McCarthy from being able to step into the throw.

Yes, there is a counter to that kind of pressure, but the offense has to figure out if it is actually coming or is the defense going to bail in coverage. Washington crowded the line, forcing New York to prepare for the blitz and then brought more players than the Giants could block.

Remember their DC came from the Vikings and Flores attacking scheme. Not just Washington, but many teams are using similar fronts this season.

He did say that ... after they hired a defensive coordinator who doesn't like to blitz, and now we have another defensive coordinator who doesn't like to blitz. At least Zimmer started incorporating some of his Double-A gap stuff the year he was here. Until Parsons came back and until he started doing that our defense was just as awful as it has been these past two years.

Pettite isn't like Fangio, who is mentoring CP. He is more of an exotic pressure guy.

Boat raced and dog walked. NFC championship game by the Eagles. I mean, literally embarrassed like we were in the 2023 playoffs. So I don't think much has changed. Just because he has. Maybe if there's some better players or have them in the middle. It may look better. But if you don't have the data, then no, that's not working. I mean the day. Beat us that way because no, they didn't beat us. They really haven't much, and when we're healthy we still beat. Dan Quinn. We did it against them in Atlanta and now with the. Washington team.

Let me explain the problem here. You all are getting all over Jerry and now Christian Parker for being behind. I'm reading all this nonsense in here. This isn't directed at you, is directed at anybody who reads this. You have to have better coverage, meaning a healthy back end of safeties and corners in order to play a blitzing. High risk. Because if you're open too quick, they're just gonna throw the ball. They're gonna beat it. You can beat the blitz just by checking the ball down or having really hot routes and crossing routes. That is why you can do both. Both can be true. I think Christian Parker would, if he trusted his back end, blitz more. So there's a good reason why sometimes you play more zone, or if you play man, but you don't attack with too much blitz unless it's in a situation where you think it can work. It is not behind three years. It's not that hard to call a blitz to run blitz place. I mean, this is a multiple, right? You all act like he's running Fangio's defense. To the letter. No, he's not. I can jump on the sideline and call a blitz. I can go tell. Shamar James to call a blitz, call a blitz. You know what? He can run a blitz. People know how to blitz. They didn't forget how to blitz because they're playing in Fangio's defense.LMAO

He's also not here as defensive coordinator. Parker isn't suddenly going to be all about exotic pressure. It goes against what he believes in.

 

[erod]

Not here.

From what I saw yesterday, Washington's DC definitely seems to be trying to follow in the footsteps of Flores. Quinn was already a pressure-first coach, so it fits who he is, too.

NFL doesn't want this it wants points and more points

He was one of the coaches he learned throughout his time in the nfl. CP is a big supporter of presnap disguise, and we have see pressure packages as the season has progressed

Some people are so far behind in the race that they think they’re ahead.
