Damn... how many sacks did we have?

[Tusan_Homichi]

The bottom line is Roy cannot cover Shockey man to man...that's a fact. Shockey is too good an athlete for Roy in coverage. We realized that and changed our coverage to give help or play zone.

Roy still had a good game...recognizing that he can't cover Shockey man to man is not an indictment any more than saying most safeties can't cover Witten alone. It is what it is...we were probably foolish to think he could in the first half, but we made that correction in the second half.

Perfectly summed up. You'd be hard pressed to find a SS who on an island with Jeremy Shockey would do anything more than Roy did. Roy had a very good game overall though.

Agreed.

5 sacks baby they only had one the other one don't count it was a qb sneak

Beyond that we were consistently in his face.

IMO roy was great on several run plays and above average in pass game. He is a safety after all, not a cornerback. After the coverage is already blown or at least not as good as it should be roy is there to make sure the receiver does not go very far after the catch. safety

I posted this else where, I think the staff felt better with Roy man up on JS with hamilin playing centerfield, I am willing to bet they told roy to keep shockey in front of him and just make the tackle.

On Shockey's TD, Roy had solid coverage, but Eli made a perfect throw to the left shoulder and Shockey made a good catch. There was nothing that could be done there.

I'm not sure that throw was intentional by Manning, but it worked out for them. I just don't think he's pinpoint accurate enough for that.

Hamlin is better in deep coverage, and giving help over the top, afterall, he's a FS

I agree the addition of Tank will most likely allow our edge rushers even more sacks than the rate were currently at, today we looked ('06 San Deigo) aggressive on our rush and I think it was mainly due to the double team Tank was getting.

 

[trickblue]

About half as many as we actually had...

Wanna talk defense now?

 

[PBJTime]

Roy played excellent run defense and was in position for the Shockey TD, all Safties/CB's get beat.

Roy also put a good lick on Jacobs that drawed "ooohs" from the crowd.
