Who is covering Andre Johnson?

[parchy]

Which side will he be on for most of this game? Who is marking him?

That could be the most exciting match-up of the game.

 

[Rampage]

i would think newman.

If we play match-up, which we've done occasionally, it should be Newman. If not, it'll depend on where he lines up.

which one do we do more dominatly; zone or man do you know?

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

I hope to God its Newman

The corners play more man-to-man.

 

[Dayton Cowboy]

Does anybody know if the Texans move Andre Johnson around? Does he line up in the slot?

 

[Doomsday101]

I think Newman will get him most of the time but one reason a team will put a WR into motion is to get a better ideal of the coverage. If the CB follows the WR in motion the QB knows for certain that he as man coverage on the play

 

[AbeBeta]

Me, I'd cover him exclusively with Watkins. That leaves our CBs free to blitz.

Which is fine if we get to the qb...


And actually tackle him when we get there.

Whether they get there or not, it's not a good idea to leave the FS man-to-man on the outside without any help at all over the top.

You're right.

What does get me though is that everyone complains about vanilla defense, Dallas finally tries to get a little inventive/creative, gets burnt and now everyone's complaining about that.

My only problem with the Henry blitz is that while Ellis is a quality passrusher, he's not a quality blitzer and doesn't have the footspeed to get there in time.

I have heard it is some new guy by the name of Jock St. Rap:laugh1:

On a serious note, chances are it will be newman unless they move Andre around during the game.

they move him around a lot. saw the Commanders-texans game and he had a big play from the slot position (~50yd reception)

Hellz YEAH!!!!!!!!!! :laugh2:

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I don't know that we will play a match up but if it were me, I'd probably try to match Newman up with Moulds and double Andrea all over the field with Henry and which ever safety draws the assignment. If they put him in the slot, that could really be a problem.
