I do think there's some validity to this. Teams know we are going to get pressure. That pressure can turn into sacks if the ball isn't thrown quickly. The need to get the ball out quickly results in interceptions like the one Stafford threw to Bland. The QB knows he isn't likely to have time to see the play develop, so he's got to throw with anticipation. If what you anticipated doesn't happen (for example, the Rams were expecting Bland to get picked and possibly for Kupp to sit down on the route instead of break outside, despite what Olsen said) then it can result in a costly error.
Against below .500 teams only.
right. it's just... odd. like someone else mentioned though, I guess if you prepare for Dallas knowing they're going to bring such crazy pressure you scheme against it. Micah is just always RIGHT there though, and it's just not translating to "sacks" And ultimately, who cares it's individual numbers, but I'd like to see it for him (and for arguing w/ trolls lol)
You can only play who is on the schedule. We will find out on Sunday in Philly if this D is progressing.
Not yesterday. Once it was 33-3 the defense clearly lost their intensity.
I have PFF, but they dont seem to track that unfortunately.
Exactly I don't know what people are watching but from what I saw they literally allowed for the seventh straight game to be walked down the field and give up a score to start a game and also how they did just before the half and how they did coming right out of the half it was definitely not playing with any intensity... The momentum started swinging back to the Rams and that's why Stafford tried to stay out there till it was absolutely obvious they weren't gonna make a real comeback but truly this depends let up I mean I don't know what else to say but people keep giving all these accolades to the defense that seems to do this every game they literally were responsible for the two losses I know there were other issues there but in my opinion they were responsible for the two losses they are not great in between the turnovers yes they turned the ball over yes they make big plays yes they look exciting but they absolutely are not one of the top five defenses in the league from where I sit because that will be judged by how they play the better teams not the teams with less than stellar offensive lines...
i dunno, i always felt like man coverage in general granted more sacks but fewer TOs, but im just speaking from the couch
1: NYG Daniel Jones 3.04 seconds, 7 sacks
Thanks for putting that together
Where did you get this information
This was a few weeks ago, but should still be pretty close to accurate.
Yes, but you also have to remember the DB has his back turned towards the QB. It gives the QB an opportunity to escape the pocket without as much containment. We lost several sacks the first few weeks of the season because QB's we able to exploit that once they got out of the pocket
