Sasquatch Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Gotta think Fangio is on the hot seat in Denver, as Elway has shown little patience historically with failed HC’s. Never really thought he’d be successful as a head coach, but he damn sure knows defense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Packers rose a full ranking in points allowed. Went from 20th to 19th. Still got a long way to go to crack the top 10, and will probably need a couple bad games from a couple good defenses to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibrett15 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) This shows Pass rush vs Pass defense. Take the horizontal PRWR (pass rush win rate) with a few grains of salt. Vertical is defensive Pass EPA/play. Higher up is better pass defense. Higher up and Right is better pass defense possibly because of pass rush. The secondary is doing ok... the pass rush needs to win more. Hopefully that starts to happen. Edited October 27, 2020 by skibrett15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I am all in on believing this defense grows with the growth of Martin and Barnes. If those two continue to improve, this defense can improve and we can do what the 2007 Giants, 2009 Saints and 2011 Giants did, which is suck on defense for the first 10-ish games and then suddenly click going into the postseason. This week is a monumental week for this defense. A turnover prone Cousins in a make or break game for the Vikings season. If this defense can hold the Vikings to just three scores all game and come up with some turnovers, that is invaluable for their confidence going forward.

Where would you set the "over/under" for amount of receptions we allow behind the first zone and in front of safeties along the sidelines? I'm thinking 4 or 5.

The issue with this defense has always been post season. They don’t wow you in regular season, but do just enough for you to grudgingly be semi optimistic and then in post season they get exposed each and every year. This year will be no different. This isn’t a defense that can stop a TOP 5 team. At best you pray the defense holds the opponent to under 30 in the playoffs over the course of 4Qs instead of getting blown out in first half. defense getting blown out = A-Rod disappears Edited October 30, 2020 by PackGymRat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 One day points will matter and we will still start the game like the whole defense was out drinking until 11 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Guys, we got Mike Pettine coming up on the schedule this week. What's our gameplan? Run it. Run it. Run it. Run it. Run it. Okay, anybody object? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I think we can all agree it’s time to fire Pettine. His defenses can’t stop the run and his scheme can’t stop play action pass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
