I wouldn't disagree with any of those - and like I said I haven't had the opportunity to watch as much game film as my friend has but he claims that he has notices a decline in blitzes/stunts and the defense hasn't been as "dynamic" since the bye week

What they need to do is put Flowers back on the outside and let Berry actually play Safety and not LB. Take your lumps and bruises with our Nickel DB but at least QB's might think twice before simply throwing it up.

As the playmakers in the front 7 wore down, QBs and receivers have been getting the time to make plays. Flowers and Smith are getting burned as consistently as Cooper. Cooper was just as easy scapegoat.

I agree that they aren't getting pressure that they use to, but hell, look at the 3 games they lost....the QB's were getting the ball out so fast that the Pass rush didn't even have time to get to them. The first Denver game was unreal. I remember seeing Houston getting a clean shot at Manning and he STILL got the ball out before he could get there. |

I completely respect your football opinions, but don't you think there is something a little more to it? |

Part of it, a BIG part is the lack of aggression on D.
We have got to attack the QB from all angles with more than 4 men. It gets us burnt occasionally but not pressuring theQB gets us burnt EVERY ****ING TIME. When we CREATE pressure we gets sacks and turnovers. I can live with getting burned a few times to get those. Like I said, we are getting burned anyway. This recent plan looks like its straight out of Romeos briefcase. |

He's a rook, teams are more inclined to do that. But if we were to look at percentages, both Flowers and Smith would be getting burned at the same rate compared to targets.

I dunno if you guys were listening this morning, but Louis Riddick had a good take on why our DBs are having problems now, especially Cooper.
He's not altering his technique at all in regards to what he does at the LOS. It's press man, every play. He doesn't ever press and run, or bail, it's always the same thing. Like a pitcher throwing a fastball, and a fastball only. I think our entire DB is struggling with that. |

He's been getting targeted and toasted quite a bit, but i'm still excited about Coopers future, he was a low round pick who only started playing corner his junior year, he's bound to be picked on... but he's big, fast and has some nice picks/deflections under his belt, they'll get his technique issues ironed out.
And of course our safety issues aren't doing him any favors, either. |

OTWP's point is that the writing was on the wall long before it was exposed. It just took a quality starting QB to truly expose it. |

And your friend is wrong. This defense has been blitzing more, overall, since the bye than before.

And if you blitz a guy like Peyton or Rivers, they can easily just throw it to Cooper or at the spot where Kendrick Lewis should be, but never will be. The problem is that our dominant performance the first half of the year misled us. This defense has a long ways to go talent-wise. I don't agree with people who think that blitzing more is some kind of magical cure-all. |
