BAD Defense with 8 seconds to go!

[eduncan22]

Can someone please explain this defensive formation?

With 8 seconds to go, and no times outs for the Iggles, Zimmer puts in a strange Defense.

The result, Iggles pickup an easy first down and kick a FG with 1 sec left.

Very strange.....

That was the play with T.O. playing deep.

Because he is an idiot?

And they knew David Akers could hit one from 50.

He has never missed IN Dallas.

man that is just so frustrating to look at

We're screwed if it comes down to a Kris Brown kick in Seattle. He never misses either.

Nice sarcasm.

Put the BB Gun away and look it up.

That scheme makes no sense at all. It was bad enough live that shot is complete head scratcher.

 

[eduncan22]

That one was on the Coach.

Take a screen shot of that play right before the pass. All they need is about 10-15 yards to get in field goal range. Look how many defenders are covering that area (10-15 yards from LOS). Then look who is emerging into that area close to the left sideline. Then look who comes into frame too late.

For those that don't have the video, the last one is .... BRADIE JAMES!

So are most of our schemes if we broke all the game that before the snap.

He makes me sick lately.

3-4 is broke...bring back the 4-3.

Sarcasm? If not, what does this have to do with 3-4 vs. 4-3?

This is the first year that we have fully used the 3-4 and we are constantly getting burnt due to lack of pressure. We are all wanting 3 guys to get pressure against a QB who has 5-6 guys protecting him....yet we all wonder why we aren't getting any pressure.

I'm not saying that we should go back to the 4-3 entirely, but I would like to see a better mix of it than we are currently seeing. 3 years ago....#1 defense with the 4-3....implementing the 3-4 had us higher ranked at the beginning of the season, but as the season wears on, the 3 guys are seemingly getting worn out....having to take on 5 guys, I can see why.

Here it is...you are right. Sorry excuse for coverage.

Hard to figure out who he was defending...very lazy.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the alignment you're seeing in that picture isn't the 3-4. Hardly ever do we only rush 3 defenders.

I'm talking about the system, and my post reflected that. I have seen plenty of times where we have had only 3 guys rushing. I wouldn't say hardly ever. I've seen Ware fake the rush and pull back into coverage to much. I would like to see him rush the QB more than he is and the 4-3 would allow him to rush more.

Here's the biggest problem. There was absolutely no one he was covering in the middle of the field. However, you could see the receiver on the left sideline since the beginning of the play. It was like he faked going deep either. He was running very slow and turned around early.

Bradie James sucks, folks. SUCKS.
