John Simon wanted it to.

John Simon wanted it to.

John Simon threw it and then caught up to it for the picture (yes, the bullet is actual size).

That would also explain why it's moving so fast.

They did a poor job of proofing it. They had no "LG" or "C" headings for the OL, and didn't differentiate between Sam and Will OLBs or strong and free safeties.

* Meyer said they want to be aggressive defense, but they also have to be "gap sound." Can't just run around like a nut.

I fully expect two shutouts in the first 4 games

 

[HilmerJ]

i think the biggest "player" that is going to step up this year will be the fans in the stands...the 12th man per say...rejuvenated fans, and an angry team...urban's offense is going to get the stadium rockin and the defense is gonna be one of the best we've had in years...

 

[Onebuckfan]

I would love to see the fans step-up and go hard for at least a half..

Did the defense blitz at all yesterday? Or was that part of the game plan?

I'm hoping it was an intentional vanilla defensive game plan.

2 semi negative things I think I saw without re-watching;

1) limited pass rush from the starting down 4
2) it took a puzzling long time to see guys rotated in (it seemed like, this is one I'd have to go back and actually look for)

All in all Miami's OL was supposed to be pretty weak and I didn't see a lot of individual battles being won in pass rushing from the down four. I'm no coach and that's just from initial impressions without re-watching the game, so tifwiw.

I'm assuming it was the game plan.

Pass heavy attack + supposed dominating front 4, there should have been no need to blitz.
