The thing with defending the run is you have to consistently do it as a unit. You can't be guessing and jumping gaps cause you leave guys out to dry.
That's what they did last year. We saw how that worked out. |

Thornhill was flying Sunday. He's gonna be a good one. |

They had 3 guys covering the underneath receiver. Thornhill bit.

May be better served having him and Mathieu flip responsibilities in that I think HB will be less inclined to bite hard on those double moves or play-action fakes. But long-term I think that's where you want Thornhill so I guess you just live with the growing pains while you're playing these rummies. If he's gonna take lumps, I guess he needs to take them now to learn from them.

Apparently they love him in the building, Terez even mentioned that they see him in the Earl Thomas type player breath, which if that worked out even a little bit I'd be excited. See, we can get guys like that in the 2nd, lets start burning those first rounders away even more. |

I don't think there was a double move at all. I actually think once the backup got in, Spags told them to jump short routes to try and get picks.
Ward got burned, but you see Thornhill jumping this open guy.
Later on I think it was Breeland did the same thing and they had a guy get open deep down the right sideline.

If that's C2, isn't Breeland supposed to pass that guy off or is he supposed to keep dropping? **** if I remember.
The first one Thornhill just guessed wrong I think. |

Ward clearly didn't have a good day but sometimes you get bailed out on a play like that deep ball; that's kinda the point in having a deep safety. If he has deep help, the ball probably doesn't even get thrown. Granted, he had a chance to bail out his teammate there (knock it away and Thornhill's error means nothing) and didn't, so it's not like he's without blame. But he had to feel hung out to dry there a bit.

The thing about that play is, I think they executed it fairly well.
The blitz got there, and Minshew had to fit the ball into a fairly tight window. He's good.

It's just impossible to know without knowing the playcall and such. |

Is that 2nd play more of a cover 3 over? Eh, **** if I know. It doesn't look like a strict cover 2 because Breeland is getting deeper in his drop than I would generally expect from a cover 2. Cover 3 over makes more sense because he takes him into his deep 1/3 with the help over the top to pick up. But terminology changes around so much that I could've just mangled the hell out of that. Coverage has gotten a lot more complicated in response to RPOs and option routes than I've ever had any kind of coaching in. A lot of it's gotten over my head at this point.
