Concerned w/D vs RPO heavy teams

[mmohican29]

Every time we play a team that features this we seem ill-prepared.

I'd like us to get beat over the top vs the edge runs. Parsons of late looks frustrated. Time to move him back to LB and get up the middle pressure?

This defenses kryptonite is RPO.

We’re gonna get a good dose this week.

How many teams run RPO? That we've played? 2-3? Bears, Giants, Eagles. We are 3-1 against those teams. Fields and Hurts run on everybody not just us. I don't think this is some glaring issue being that many teams that we play or will play don't run it.

the rpo teams use our aggressiveness against us. Its on Dan Quinn to adjust accordingly and be smarter.

 

[mmohican29]

No but the ONLY teams that CAN beat us do run this as their core offense.

SF
Philly

yep with his hat on backwards

The RPO hurts every team. Again the board is overreacting. We held the Eagles run game in check. They beat us because of the turnovers. We beat the Giants twice and blew out the Bears. The key to our run defense will be the offense controlling the clock and scoring points. The reason why we lost to the 49ers is because their defensive line destroyed our offense.

We have to stay with our formula on Offense against rpo based teams. We need to score early and play good Defense and get up on them to change the way they play it. We had that fumbled punt after the scoring drive. If didn’t fumble and scored again it would have changed things. If our Defense gets a turnover we need to get points. Stick with the formula.

They have been a problem...

 

[Kumala808]

They get overly aggressive and put themselves in bad situations

 

[Big D]

If the defense hits the qb every time the rpo is ran wether he hands off or not teams will not run it. Unless they have spare qbs laying around.
