bigdog54 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I’m happy for the win but this defensive coordinator refuses to make simple and easy adjustments. On short yardage situations he continues to have his CB play 6-10 yards off the ball. We will never win even with slightly better than average QB’s when we are giving this much space. I’m glad that the offense is getting it together but I hope no one takes off the heat on the worse DC in the history of the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 My problem with this photo isn’t the corners playing off. Actually if they’re up it’s more likely the get picked on the play. The bigger issue for me is that safety almost off the screen and over 15 yards back. The guy is in another area code for crying out loud. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing off 2 or 3 yards but that is ridiculous and they do it on third and one and I’ve seen nobody in the league do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lean they only gave up 13 points and they scored a touchdown. Can’t be too frustrated by them this week overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The issue I have is that actually our CBs are not that bad. Slay is actually pretty damn good and Nelson is not a bad #2 and you could give him some safety help to that side. So why so damn soft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTANK Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 it’s as if Schwartz never left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYEagle Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Maybe the answer is Schwartz NEVER LEFT....He possessed Gannon's body and didn't leave!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Asante Samuel would have loved this defense. His forte was sitting 7 yards off and breaking to the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t jam the Wr’s every play without eventually getting burned. That play ended up being a 15 pass, not a 5 yarder under the coverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually got pressure on him and made him uncomfortable in the pocket. Of course they have had far more success against mediocre to average quarterbacks than they have against good ones.

They were playing the Safeties so deep that when they made plays over the middle and ran up the middle they broke big. One play the TE with a brace on his leg caught the ball between two linebackers in their zone and he ran up the field and the only guy who ran him down was Harris.

Talonblood Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Gannon's biggest system flaw is FEAR. He shapes his scheme out of fear of big plays. You can't succeed at anything if fear is your guiding light. Defenses that are disruptive win the most games. Defenses that play out of confident, controlled fury, that INSTILLS fear in opponents, not a defense that is afraid of ITSELF. I really don't know if Gannon will ever see that. If not, replace him. Siri? Willing to adjust, and look at HIS results, Gannon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how they beet Dallas the week before, this Win was really unexpected. Good Thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day the FO is going to realize that analytics make a horrible assumption, namely, it assumes that all offensive and defensive players are equal physically and mentally. It's a foolish organization puts its trust in analytics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
