We don't even dare threaten to blitz. I get that the pass rush so far hasn't been stellar but we are doing zero to help it schematicqlly. I know our Dline coach knows what he is doing. This is just straight up bad Defensive coordinator work.
Yeah but if we blitzed people, they might beat us deep...

It's a little earlier than usual for the annual flood of injuries at the same key positions. And why does this not ever seem to happen to the deserving teams. Like the Eagles.
Conditioning. I think the Eagles are a little more devoted to nutrition and fitness. I have no energy to even see what unqualified nepo fuck runs that.

Eberflus needs a moment of epiphany. He needs to recall what the hell he learned under Fat Rob Ryan and run something strange. If he continues to be a stubborn twat running exactly what Marinelli ran, we are dead defensively no matter who returns from injury.

True, but one impression I have of him from his interviews is he's one cocky mofo. So I doubt he changes.

I don't recall Marinellis coverages being this fucking dumb. At least Marinelli tried to run one coverage and run it well. We can't run any zone coverages well. And yet we have a dog like devotion to running all different kinds of pure zone coverages.

I stopped paying attention once the game got out of control, but when did Booker get hurt?
Wonder if it was when he got pancaked.

@Bipo I know you saw that play because you mentioned it. Did you see any hint of that?

I don't remember when he got hurt either. I do remember someone putting him on his ass rather embarrassingly.

Okay fine.

Old Man Kiffin’s coverages were just as elementary and any OC with half a brain could beat it if the personnel were poor fits. We saw that.

That is what we have right now and I am not certain a healthy Bland and Revel will address that.

It might be better but Wilson will still get raped. Diggs will need safety help on basically every play. Bland is great in zone or man. But I kind of feel like Revel is a press man kind of corner with elite speed. Putting him in some bullshit zone is a bad idea too. So it may get better but we still will get picked on because of the dumbass scheme.
