How did the Boys stop Calvin Johnson

[Bay10]

how did they cover him?

 

[Rogerthat12]

Carr and Safety over the top.

 

[Nation]

Mainly had Carr on him with safety help.

From my perspective, Calvin Johnson is a shell of what he was in the past.

Various coverages. Most of the time there was a safety over the top. From time to time Carr was one on one with him, but most of the time he had help with safeties rolling to his side.

It's helps to not have Jakar Hamilton and Jeff Heath as your safeties.

I though Carr had himself a pretty good game

i have thought that as well

A lot of miles. He's just not the same guy. Plus, now they have moved a number of their targets to Tate.

Bump and run with Carr. With Safety help over the top. Carr played trail position. So it would force Stafford if he wanted to throw it, to throw it over the top. Which is risky. Chancing an over throw with safety help already over the top. Under throw it? Carr is right there waiting, with a "Thank You" card.

We just need to take this approach to Nelson on Sunday.

Bro, we doubled and almost tripled him on most plays.

 

[JBS]

Granted we slowed him down...he still went for 85 yards on 5-6 catches....not like the guy did nothing...probably had more yards than anyone on our team save for Williams..just bc of that one big play

Nelson is not even near a physical specimen as Megatron. I think Moore/Scandrick could do a good job on him. Don't know about Carr.

No one has mentioned this, but Scandrick shut his man down for the entire game. Were any passes completed against him?

I saw the doubling. Calvin Johnson of yesteryear ate double-teams for lunch.

He has 39 yards against the Packers last week....

This isn't Megatron anymore.. he's just Calvin Johnson.

Cobb is not Tate, and Rodgers is not Stafford. Throw all your resources at Jordy if you want, but you might not like the results.

You don't treat Jordy like Calvin. He's not megatron. He's good, but I think you should not play any of their WR's with special coverage. 2 Man Under should work. Take both away deep, and hope your corners can stick close enough. Just trust your front to stop the run with both Safeties back deep.

This week will be the ultimate challenge for Scandrick -- Randall Cobb.

Maybe the top slot Corner in the NFL against maybe the top slot WR.

We held him in check.

Nelson does need special attention. You can put Scandrick on Cobb and Moore on Adams. Keep Carr trailing to prevent the back shoulder passes he's in sync with Nelson on.

I would have Scandrick on Cobb and add special coverage for Nelson; you can contain two targets.
