The mesh/crossing/drag routes have essentially opened up the entire middle of the field and allowed guys who excel at YAC (like an AB) to do so. before, as you eluded to it was pure vertical, with us only coming underneath as the last safety valve to the RB or TE... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BucsDraftGeek47 785 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Anyone else read that article on ESPN about the Saints? i cant find it right now but it basically surmised how Brees is completing something like 73% of his passes when faced with zone coverage as opposed to 54% when facing press man coverage if Bowles doesnt change his ways we are doomedΒ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JohnCena 207 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The Bucs must play over 80% man at the very least if they want to have any real chance of slowing down Brees and that offense. If Todd Bowles comes out with the exact same plan as he had in week 9 and last week of playing heavy zone I will lose it. Play man and blitz Devin White and the defense can look respectable.Β 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
