The only argument you could have is the safety could be in the box. It's 21 personnel. With a base defense you're still playing light without a safety in the box.

We only have 7 defenders. When there are more gaps than defenders, you're playing light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is unconscionably bad defensive strategy. THEY PLAYED PASS, ON THIRD AND ONE, WITH A LIGHT BOX, AGAINST A 9 MAN FRONT. Hey tell me if you can guess what's wrong with this picture? If so you too might be a better defensive coordinator than Mike Pettine. I highly recommend you don't look in this thread if that upsets you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my point of view, Preston Smith is a huge a problem, he was getting totally destroyed in the run game. Don't know if its scheme or him just not having it. Excited for AGs cut ups.. I don't think it was Preston failing on the run D. I think he was holding the edge and the d lineman got pushed entirely out of the way in a "so bad it looks like someone else's fault" sort of way.

It's the idea that the defensive lineman can cover a gap either to his right or his left based on where the double team comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Lol. Who wants to **** on Blake Martinez’s 2019 performance now? He literally said that he had zero gap responsibilities and was told to just clean up based on what Z and P did. The man doesn’t even ****ING TEACH gap responsibility and people wonder why we can’t stop the run. It’s just stupid ****ing logic. If a team doesn’t need to pass, they can do whatever TF they want when they pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaFleur errored mightily when he chose to bring him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
