Really sick of hearing these kind of things. The philosophy by this coaching staff of lining up and beating the man across from you is dumb. There are bigger more powerful guys sometimes, and you gotta scheme to help.

It’s the same garbage on the offensive side of the ball, and it’s like these coaches have their collective heads up their you know what.

So we are predictable on both sides!!


After rewatching a few plays, I am pretty sure they were rotation targeting Zeke too. We used to do this. One defender closest to “target” always attacks a target player rather than the ball. In other words go for Zeke not the ball. This allows you to avoid worrying about the play. Your job is to simply make sure Zeke can’t make plays. It has risk but we are not hard to read so...

Oh and since it rotates, the other team can never know who may be coming for target player.

How did no other team see this especially the Saints? There might have been a few plays where this was the case but find it hard to believe it was the whole game and no one else saw this

It’s so stupid that people overreact to this every year on both sides of the ball. Every team has tells like this and it’s ehy every team employs data and film analysts to find them.

It may be stupid to you but things like this end seasons and Dallas didn’t magically go from one of the leagues best run defenses to almost giving up 300 yards without coaching playing a factor.


It’s clear that their pre-snap motions, misdrection, and change of pace played a huge factor. They had edges in the coaching department that we don’t.
