His knowledge of defense and experience dealing with complex offenses is why I withheld an opinion. I could see why there were grumblings but I also thought that maybe this could level some things up.

Turns out this defenses ability to just play mind games to confuse us next level. When you have that and you also have the most athletic defense in the country that’s a good recipe for success.

Will be interesting to see how we play these teams different. I bet it’ll take a QB that can run to really be an issue for our defense. So I look at Washington and TCUN specifically as teams that maybe could be skilled enough there to hurt us even if we are playing well.

No chance a defense is just going to line up and either drop back or run power. I can’t think of one team left though that has the skill at WR to force us to play balanced.

I wish I had the clip ESPN broke down of how Patricia hid defenses. I think it was Downs he had up near the line and then at the snap of the ball he sprinted back to his safety position. Texas was not prepared to work on the schemes he was throwing at them. We will see how well State Penn and That School Up North adjust.

They just faced one :lol:. We can knock his arm, but Manning certainly has athleticism to rival the QBs at Washington and scUM. And I see the issue with both of those QBs being, Washington not having the skill position players of Texas, and will Underwood be able to read defenses at a level high enough to decipher Patricia?

For sure, and I meant from here on out. For this defense to give up more than 21 it’ll take someone playing out of their minds. Avoiding pressure, finding people on scramble drills, and moving the chains.

Trying to give full critiques of throws without the all-22 is fucking comedy. Especially when you grade every throw in a vaccuum and don't tie multiple points together from various concepts same or similar throughout the game.







Similar to how the Seahawks structured a lot of their defensive fronts in the early days of Pete Carroll. Except they'd often play their LEO weakside.
